Digital Signature Scope

There are three (3) scope modes that are most commonly used in NextDocs:

• Entire File where the entire MS Word file itself is signed.
• Document Content where all the text and visible content of the document is signed.
• Containing Section where the content of the current section is signed.

Section based signatures are useful for MS Word documents that require multiple users to update and approve a document. Using section based signatures, each signer edits and signs a specific section and in no way affects the signatures on other sections.
