# Capture a Respondent’s Signature on an Assessment Form

Respondents can use a digital signature to authenticate their responses on the form when you add the Discovery Framework Signature element to a form. They can either type or draw their name or initials, and use the signature in multiple places on the form before submitting it. The Assessment Signature object stores the signature details, and the Digital Signature object stores the signature.

When submitting the responses, respondents can either type their name or initials and select a Salesforce font as their signature style, or they can draw their own e-signature. They can also add the same signature at multiple places on the form before submitting the responses. Respondents can reuse the same signature in multiple locations within the Discovery Framework Omniscript. However, the Signature element doesn't support capturing signatures from multiple users in the same Omniscript.
