# Digitally sign documents

Laserfiche supports the ability to apply digital signatures to documents. You can also view who signed a document and if the document has been altered since it was signed.

## To digitally sign a document

1. Open the document’s Metadata pane and click on **Signatures** tab, then click on **Sign**.
2. Browse for the signature by clicking on **Select**.
3. Enter the reason for signing.
4. Click on **Sign**.
5. Click on **Validate**.![](https://cdn.document360.io/7a3c00d9-daf1-4451-a1a0-1e6ab8f34fa6/Images/Documentation/image-1638087747373.png)

Note:The validated signature will have a green check mark associated with it. However, if any changes were made to the document after the signature was validated, the green check will change into red X.
