Which statement about DocuSign signatures can be viewed in the Signatures Panel?

• A. They can be viewed in the Signatures Panel
• B. They cannot be viewed after signing
• C. They are not related to document certification
• D. They are always invalid without a trusted CA

Answer: (A)

Digital signatures in a document include metadata about who signed, when, and whether the document has been altered since signing. The Signatures Panel is the area in a PDF viewer that lists these signatures and shows their status, signer details, timestamp, and certificate information. That’s why DocuSign signatures can be viewed there: you can verify the signature, see who signed, when, and confirm the integrity of the document. The other statements misstate how viewing and trust work—signatures can be seen after signing, are related to verification and certification details, and don’t require a trusted CA to be viewable in the panel.
