# Signature

## Before you begin

* You need a text property in one of your collections in which you'll be saving your signature
* You do not need a paid Adalo plan to use the feature

{% hint style="info" %}
Please be aware that the signature saves as text, but it can't be saved on the first property of a Collection. 
{% endhint %}

## Walkthrough

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Simple" %}
**1.)** While in your Adalo app, click the big plus sign <img src="https://3467607506-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LhGHkPsv15svPIU5I7C%2F-MfE_AQhM8BcVaFsjCay%2F-MfEekjmLFwlx6oPUUw0%2Fadd%20button.png?alt=media&#x26;token=756245fd-14cc-4e4d-bf6e-22e4703663ba" alt="" data-size="line"> in the top left corner

**2.)**  Scroll down to the **Marketplace** section and click **Explore Marketplace**

**3.)**  Find **Signature** in the component list and click **Install**

**4.)** Back in the components list, enter **Signature** in the search bar, then click and drag the Signature Pad component onto the desired screen.

**5.)** Select the style you want for the component.&#x20;

**6.)** Click on **Button** and make any changes to the text or Buttons styles as desired.&#x20;

**7.)** Scroll down to the Save Actions. Add a new "Create Action" and with [Magic Text](https://help.adalo.com/~/revisions/kmzOxqjy7C9sXGVjDKKb/component-basics/inserting-dynamic-text) select Signature Pad > Signature.&#x20;

**8.)** Add any additional action depending on where you want to take your users after the signature has been saved.&#x20;
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

{% hint style="info" %}
If you are saving the signature in your Users collection then you would want to use the "Update Action" instead to the "Create Action". The steps will be the same ones
{% endhint %}
