Create and use Templates

You can create templates for the documents which you often use repeatedly. The templates are created in the same way as regular documents, but instead of associating signature fields with people, we simply associate fields with roles. Using templates ensures that frequently used documents can be quickly prepared for signing, simplifying and expediting the signature process. You can refer to this blog for how to use the templates to save time and effort.
