# Bulk Signing - in Dashboard
How to bulk sign the document from the dashboard?
Bulk Signing allows users to **sign multiple pending documents in a single action** directly from the Dashboard. This helps reduce repetitive signing effort when multiple documents are awaiting the same signer.
Bulk Signing is available from the **My Signatures** section.
***
#### Selecting Documents for Bulk Signing
Users can select documents in the following ways:
* **Select all documents** by clicking the checkbox in the table header (top of the column)
* **Select multiple documents** by ticking the checkbox next to each required document
Once one or more documents are selected, a **bulk action bar** appears at the bottom of the screen, displaying the number of selected documents and available bulk actions.
***
#### Initiating Bulk Signing
From the bulk action bar, click **Sign**.
The system navigates the user to the **Generate Signing Image** screen, where the selected documents are evaluated for bulk signing.
***
#### Generate Signing Image
This screen provides visibility into which documents are eligible for bulk signing and allows the user to choose the signing method.
**Documents Considered for Signing**
* Displays all documents selected from the Dashboard ready to bulk sign
* Documents that do **not require additional user input** during signing are included
**Documents Excluded**
* Documents that require **mandatory data entry or form input** during the signing process are excluded
* Such documents must be signed individually
This ensures bulk signing proceeds only where a single, uniform signing action is possible.
***
#### Selecting the Signature Method
Bulk Signing can be completed using one of the following options:
**eSignature**
* Apply a simple electronic signature
* Users can choose the signature appearance from:
* Sample signatures
* Drawn signature
* Uploaded signature image
* Previously saved signatures
**Digital Signature (DSC)**
* Sign documents using a **Digital Signature Certificate** via token or smart card
* Requires:
* Selecting the connected device
* Choosing the certificate
* Entering the token password
The selected signature method is applied consistently across all included documents.
***
#### Completing Bulk Signing
After reviewing the document list and selecting the signature method:
* Click **Sign**
* The system applies the signature to all eligible documents
* A confirmation message is displayed upon successful completion
Once completed, the signed documents move out of **My Signatures** and continue through their respective workflows.
