The several steps to sign a document in Google Docs:

  1. Open the Google Docs document you want to sign in your web browser.
  2. Click on the "Insert" tab in the top menu and select "Drawing." This will open a new window for the Drawing tool.
  3. In the Drawing tool, click on the "Line" icon and select "Scribble." This will allow you to create a signature box on the document.
  4. Use your mouse or touchpad to create your signature inside the signature box. You can also use a stylus if you have one for a more precise signature.
  5. Click on "Save and Close" to add the signature to the document.
  6. Once you have added the signature, you can move it around and resize it as needed by clicking and dragging the corners.
  7. After you have placed the signature in the document, you can add a date, your name, or any other additional information by typing it in.
  8. Finally, save the document by clicking on "File" in the top left corner and selecting "Save" or "Save As" if you want to save a copy of the signed document with a different name.

You have now signed a document in Google Docs using a digital signature. It's worth noting that this method is not legally binding and is mainly used for informal agreements. If you need a legally binding signature, you should use a different method, such as a third-party e-signature tool.
