# Electronically Signing a Document

Electronic signatures use an encryption mechanism tied to the security question and response in a user’s profile. For more editing options, see [Clear Your Electronic Signature](/v1/docs/clearing-your-electronic-signature).

If your district uses electronic signatures, you can change your security question response by [accessing your profile settings](/v1/docs/updating-your-profile) and resetting your password. Only you can change your security question and security password for electronic signatures.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** Evaluators and educators can still edit their evaluation documents after selecting **Let Staff View**. If one user completes their signature, they can make any changes by unsigning the document again. However, if both parties complete their signatures, the document becomes locked from editing.
