The three-pane editor: field palette on the left, document canvas in the center, settings on the right.

The left panel is the Fields palette. It has quick-add buttons for Signature, Text, Date, and Checkbox fields, plus a Custom Field button. You can drag any field onto the document canvas.

The center is the Document canvas. You can switch between "Text Editor" (a full rich-text editor with formatting, tables, and images) and "Upload Document" (upload a PDF to place fields on).

The right panel is the Settings panel. It contains: Document Fields (for SmartScribe-generated placeholders), Signers, Placed Fields, Due Date, Reminders, and a Message to Signers.

Give your document a title using the input at the top of the editor (it defaults to "Untitled Document").
