About This Feature
Overview
Signature is a built-in insertion feature in WPS Sheets on Android. It helps you add a handwritten signature or a signature image to a spreadsheet document for contracts, statements, and other formal files that need signature confirmation.
Core tasks include:
- Add an existing signature for quick reuse in the current file.
- Create a handwritten signature directly on the device.
- Capture a signature through photo recognition.
- Import a signature image from the device album.
This feature is useful for contracts, confirmation statements, and approval records. It reduces the need to print, sign on paper, and scan again. On Android, the signature entry is grouped under the Insert tools, so you can complete signature insertion in one workflow.
