FAQs
What is the purpose of the Turning Pointer Option On or Off page?
This guide explains how to manage the Show 'Sign Here' pointer for an eSignature content block in QuoteCloud's Document Editor. The pointer is a visual cue that makes signature fields easy to identify while preparing or reviewing documents, helping teams using sales quoting software and sales proposal software streamline the signing process and reduce errors.
Where is the Pointer option located in QuoteCloud?
The Pointer option is located in the eSign block settings inside the Document Editor. Right-click the eSign block you want to adjust, choose eSign Block Settings, and the settings panel appears on the right. From that panel you can toggle the Show 'Sign Here' Pointer option on or off.
Who can change the Pointer option?
Any user who has permission to edit the document can change the Pointer option. The toggle appears directly in the eSign block settings while you are editing the document in QuoteCloud's editor, so only editors with suitable permissions can enable or disable the pointer.
What effect does enabling or disabling the Pointer option have?
Turning the pointer on or off only affects the Document Editor display — it is a visual aid for preparing and reviewing documents. It does not modify document content, alter how recipients sign, or change the final output produced by your quote software or proposal software.
How do I turn the Pointer option on or off?
Open the Document Editor and locate the eSign block you want to change. Right-click that block, select eSign Block Settings, then toggle the Show 'Sign Here' Pointer option in the right-hand settings panel. Changes take effect immediately in the editor view.
The pointer isn't showing in the editor — what should I check?
First confirm you right-clicked the correct eSign block and opened eSign Block Settings. Verify you are in edit mode and that you have document edit permissions. If the toggle is set correctly but the pointer still doesn't display, refresh the editor, clear your browser cache, or try an incognito window to rule out extensions. Also check browser compatibility and ensure no layout layers are hiding the pointer. If problems persist, contact your QuoteCloud administrator or support for further troubleshooting.
Will recipients or the final PDF see the Show 'Sign Here' pointer?
No. The Show 'Sign Here' pointer is only a preparation aid visible in the Document Editor for editors. Recipients, signers, and exported PDFs or final documents produced by your quote software or proposal software will not include the editor pointer.
Best practices for using the pointer when preparing quotes and proposals
Use the pointer while placing signature fields to ensure clarity and reduce placement errors, especially when creating templates or high-volume documents. Turn the pointer off once you finish positioning fields to preview the document as recipients will see it. Maintain consistent placement of signature blocks across templates in your sales quoting software or proposal software, and always test the signing flow before sending live quotes or proposals.
