Guides hub

Guides for using a signature, exporting it cleanly, and choosing the right workflow

These pages cover both execution and explanation. Some help users place the exported signature in a document or inbox, while others clarify transparency, electronic-signature language, and when an email footer is the better asset.

Why guides exist

Complete the workflow, not just the asset

The generators solve the first job. The guides solve the second and third: actually placing the signature where the user needs it, and clarifying which kind of signature asset the task really calls for. That makes the content layer easier to expand without bloating the tool pages.

Each guide now also carries a reviewed date, an evidence layer, and official-source links so the content can be refreshed systematically instead of drifting into generic advice.

FAQ

Questions about the guides layer

Do I need a transparent PNG for every guide?

No. Transparent PNG is still the default for document and image-based email workflows, but the email-signatures channel now also covers text-first HTML footers for Gmail and Outlook.

Why does the guides hub mix setup pages with explanation pages?

The guides layer now covers both practical setup tasks and a few decision-support pages, while still keeping each page tied to one concrete job or one clear explanation.
