Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the "Turning Pointer Option On or Off" page?
This guide explains how to manage the Show 'Sign Here' pointer for an eSignature content block in QuoteCloud’s Document Editor. The pointer is a visual cue that makes signature fields easy to identify while preparing or reviewing documents, helping teams using sales quoting software and sales proposal software streamline the signing process and reduce errors.
Where is the Pointer option located in QuoteCloud?
The Pointer option is found in the eSign block settings inside the Document Editor. Right-click the eSign block you want to adjust, choose eSign Block Settings, and the settings panel appears on the right. From there you can toggle the Show 'Sign Here' Pointer option on or off.
Who can change the Pointer option?
Any user who has permission to edit the document can change the Pointer option. The toggle is available directly from the eSign block settings while you are editing the document in QuoteCloud’s editor.
What effect does enabling or disabling the Pointer option have?
Turning the pointer on or off only changes what you and other editors see in the Document Editor — it is a visual aid for preparing and reviewing documents. It does not modify document content, alter how recipients sign, or change the final output produced by your quote software or proposal software.
How do I turn the Pointer option on or off?
Open the Document Editor, right-click the eSign block you want to change, select eSign Block Settings, then toggle the Show 'Sign Here' Pointer option in the right-hand settings panel. Changes take effect immediately in the editor view.
The pointer isn't showing in the editor — what should I check?
First confirm you right-clicked the correct eSign block and opened eSign Block Settings. Make sure you have edit access and that you are working inside the Document Editor. If the toggle is enabled but you still don't see the pointer, refresh the page, clear your browser cache, try a different browser or device, and check browser zoom or display scaling. If the issue persists, contact QuoteCloud support for assistance.
Will the Pointer appear in exported PDFs or be visible to signers?
No. The Show 'Sign Here' pointer is an editor-only visual aid. It does not appear in exported PDFs, printed copies, or change what signers see during the signing process. This ensures that your final proposals and quotes remain clean and professional when delivered to customers.
Any best practices for using the Pointer in QuoteCloud?
Enable the pointer when building or reviewing documents with multiple signature fields so reviewers and editors can quickly spot required signing locations. Disable the pointer when finalizing documents for a cleaner editor view. Consistent use of the pointer across templates can improve handoffs in teams using quote software or proposal software and reduce signature-related delays.
