## Creating Documents in Adobe Sign

To request documents for signing through Manatal, you need to set up reusable templates in Adobe Sign:
1. Access your Adobe Sign account.
2. Click "Create a reusable template."

2. Name the template and upload the document for signing. Click "Preview & Add Fields."

:::(Info) (Note)
Leave blank spaces in the document you upload where you intend to add fields like signatures, names, job titles, salaries, etc.

3. In the following steps, we will add fields to our template to finalize the document. Remember to configure the fields based on their intended recipients:
    * **Participant 1:** The candidate fills this field.

    * **Sender (Prefill):** Fields are pre-filled from data contained in the candidate profile.
