Creating/Editing an Email Signature⚓︎

An email signature is a custom block of text, which can be set to automatically be appended to any email you send through webmail. You may set up multiple signatures. This guide will walk you through setting one up from within your account.

Which platform does your organization use?

Choose your collaboration platform from the options below.

1. Navigate to

gmail.com

Sign in if necessary.

2. Click on the settings icon in the upper-right corner.

3. A sidebar will appear on the right. Click the topmost option - See all settings.

4. Scroll down to the Signature section. Click Create new.

5. Give this new signature a name of your choosing.

6. Once named, you can write the signature that you would like to have appended to your emails. Alternatively, simply copy-and-paste a generic signature, if your company has provided you one to use.

7. Under the Signature Defaults section, click the dropdown below For new emails use, and select the signature you just made. The option for On reply/forward use is of personal preference. You can leave it as default - No signature.

8. Finally, scroll down to the bottom, and click Save changes.

That's it! When you next compose a new email, you should see your signature automatically append to the email.
