Pitfalls of Signature Annotations

After the previous blog on "Collaboration" during Signing process, a question was asked if it was a good idea to permit a Signer to insert annotations into the document being signed. Technically, "annotations" are also "edits". 


Ask yourself the simple question: Can a particular Signer enter the annotation "Do not accept 2), 5), 6)" on the document when he / she signs it.


If a system allows a Signer to insert such an annotation while signing, ask yourself if you want to permit such a thing!
