New feature: e-signing directly in Microsoft Word via SharePoint

Here is a correct and professional English translation:


Microsoft has recently launched a new feature that enables users to request electronic signatures directly within Word documents stored in SharePoint. This means you can now manage the signing process without first having to convert the document to PDF or switch between different applications.

Simplified Signing Process in SharePoint and Teams

With the new e-signature feature, you can insert signature fields directly in Word and send documents for signing from the same workspace. The recipient receives a link via email, signs the document digitally (as a PDF), and the signed version is automatically saved in the same SharePoint library as the original. The entire process remains within Microsoft 365, simplifying both traceability and compliance with security requirements.

Benefits for Organizations and Users

The feature allows both internal and external signers to be invited directly from Word. Documents can also be reused as templates for recurring agreements, saving time. In addition, both sender and recipient receive clear notifications when the document is signed, and all activity is logged for increased transparency.

Security and Availability

Administrators can control which users and SharePoint sites are permitted to use e-signing. All signing activity is logged, and documents never leave the Microsoft 365 environment. The feature is now being rolled out to users in Europe and the rest of the world, and will be available to everyone later this year.
