About This Feature

Overview

Insert Signature in WPS Office for Android is a built-in spreadsheet feature for adding a handwritten signature to formal files such as agreements, declarations, and approval sheets.

Core tasks include:

Add a handwritten signature: Open the signature pad from the Insert tab and place the signature in the sheet.
Move the signature position: After insertion, the signature appears as a floating image that can be dragged to a suitable location.
Save and reuse the signature image: Open the original image and save it locally for later use.

This feature is useful for contract confirmation, declaration signing, and approval marking on mobile devices. It helps you complete signature placement quickly and avoid rewriting the same signature repeatedly.
