+# 🔐 Custom Signing Certificate
+
+The **Custom Signing Certificate** page allows you to upload and manage your own **digital signing certificate** (PFX format) for secure and verified document signing in OpenSign.
+
+By default, OpenSign uses its **built-in signing certificate** to digitally sign documents.  
+However, if your organization has its own **custom certificate (PFX or P12 format)**, you can upload and activate it here.

+## 🪪 What is a PFX Certificate?
+
+A **PFX** (or **P12**) certificate is a password-protected digital certificate file that contains:
+- A **private key** (used for signing documents securely)
+- A **public certificate** (used to verify the signature’s authenticity)
+
+Using a custom certificate enhances trust and compliance by ensuring all signed documents carry your organization’s **digital identity**.
+

+
+## ⚙️ How to Upload Your Custom Certificate
+
+Follow these steps to set up your custom signing certificate:
+
+1. **Log in** to your OpenSign account using your admin credentials.  
+2. Navigate to the **Console → Signing Certificate** section.  
+3. In the **Custom Signing Certificate** panel:
+   - Click **Choose File** and upload your `.pfx` or `.p12` certificate file.  
+   - Enter your **certificate password** (required to unlock the private key).  
+4. Click **Update** to save and activate your custom signing certificate.
+
+> Once updated, all new documents signed using your OpenSign account will be digitally signed with your uploaded certificate.

+
+## 🧾 Using the Default OpenSign Certificate
+
+If you wish to revert to the standard OpenSign certificate:
+- Simply click **Use default OpenSign™ certificate**.  
+- OpenSign will replace your custom certificate with its default one.
+
+---
+
+## 🛡️ Security Notes
+
+- OpenSign securely encrypts and stores your uploaded certificate.  
+- Ensure that your PFX file and password are valid and belong to your organization.  
+- Invalid or expired certificates may prevent successful document signing.  
+- Use strong passwords for your certificate to maintain compliance and security.
