### Add Widgets for Signers

- **[1] Add signature widget**: Once your document is loaded in the document creation panel, you'll need to add a signature widget for each signer. OpenSign provides an intuitive interface for this task. Select the signer from the right side panel, click on the signature widget, and position it where the signature is required.
Use the option on the right side to add recipients if you need to include additional signers. You can place multiple signature widgets for each signer, as required.
Optionally, you can assign a role to each signer, such as:
**Signer**: If the role is selected as Signer, the signer must fill in all required fields while signing the document before they can complete the signing process.
**Viewer**: If the role is selected as Viewer, widgets cannot be assigned to that user. The Viewer role only allows the user to view the document.
**Approver**: If the role is selected as Approver, it works similarly to the Signer role. However, the main difference is that the Approver role does not require a signature widget. The approver can approve the document even if no widgets are assigned.
After placing the Signature widget, you will see the options on the widget such as:
- **Add Signer/Change Signer**: Clicking the first icon on the signature widget allows you to change the signer. You can choose from existing signers in the dropdown or add a new signer.
- **Copy Signature**: Clicking on this option reveals the following choices.
