BoldSign allows template creators to grant senders permission to edit or delete form fields during the sending process. When using a template, the sender can edit or delete individual form fields based on the permissions set for each field.

Follow the steps below to enable sender permissions for editing or deleting template form fields:

  • Click Create New, and select the Create New Template option.

  • You’ll be directed to the Prepare Templates page. Here, enter the template title and description, and upload the necessary files in the Add File(s) section.

  • In the Add Role section, specify the role of the signer to be used each time the template is sent. Then click Next to proceed to the Configure Fields page.

  • On the Configure Fields page, drag and drop the required form fields into the document.

  • Select a form field to open its settings panel on the right side of the screen.

  • In the Allow Sender Actions section, you will see Edit This Field and Delete This Field options, which are enabled by default.

    • Selecting the Edit This Field checkbox allows senders to edit the form field settings when using the template.

    • Selecting the Delete This Field checkbox allows senders to delete the form field when using the template.
