Whether you are creating an envelope on the fly or creating a template to be reused, you have to add fields to your form, even if it is just the signature block and date the document was signed.

Note: If you find you cannot add fields to the documents and templates you create, most likely this is because of your user permission profile.

Responsive mobile views are enabled by default on templates. Please be aware that fields placed in the document may flow differently in a responsive view. Always use the "Recipient Preview" button at the top right to see how your document will look to the end user in both the desktop mode and the responsive mode.
