# Signature & Drawing question type

## About the Signature & Drawing question type

With the "Signature & Drawing" question type, respondents can use a freehand field right inside the questionnaire — either to enter their signature or for simple, rough drawings. This question type is well suited to scenarios such as the following:

- **Signature for a consent declaration** (e.g. for medical studies or privacy forms)
- **Confirmation by supervisors or teachers** (e.g. for tests, internships, or submissions)
- **Freehand sketches or markings** (e.g. to mark on an image, such as pinpointing pain, recording defects, or product ideas)
- **A doodle corner for creative input**

> **Note:** Input is done with a mouse, touchpad, or — on mobile devices — directly with a finger or stylus.

## Settings of the Signature & Drawing question type

2. **Remove Background Image** Clicking the "X" deletes the currently used background image.
3. **Pen Color** Choose the color used for drawing or signing here. The selection can be freely adjusted, e.g. black for signatures or red/blue for markings.
