Google Workspace just dropped a game-changer for the little guys – small businesses and start-ups are getting a serious boost with the expansion of eSign capabilities. And guess what? If you’re rocking Google Workspace Individual, you’re in for a treat because now you can dive into the eSignature tool right within Google Docs and Drive. Move over, DocuSign – Google Workspace is throwing down the gauntlet!
This ain’t just a minor tweak; it’s a full-on expansion after the initial eSignature kick-off in August 2023. The buzz? Now, every Google Workspace subscriber gets a golden ticket to this tool. According to the grapevine (or, you know, a blog post from Google Workspace updates), eSignature is now seamlessly woven into the fabric of Google Docs, making life a breeze for solo hustlers and small biz owners. Need signatures for customer agreements, vendor contracts, or stakeholder nods? Done and dusted!
Here’s the lowdown – with this slick tool, you can set up signature fields in Google Docs, turning the once painful task of completing and requesting digital signatures into a walk in the park. But hold onto your hats – Google Workspace users can even shoot their shot and request signatures from non-Google users. Talk about leveling up and giving other eSign software a run for their money!
But wait, there’s more! They’ve juiced up the service with fancy new features. An audit trail? You got it. Automatic reports on all completed contracts are now a thing. Multiple signatures? Easy peasy, even for the non-Gmail crew. And the cherry on top? Initiate eSignatures on PDF files lounging in your Drive.
And the plot thickens – Google spilled the tea that they’re not stopping here. Brace yourselves for more eSignature magic, including the ability to recycle PDFs as contract templates effortlessly. Plus, custom text fields are in the pipeline, nudging signers to drop in the deets like job titles and email addresses. The paperwork game is evolving, and Google is leading the charge!
