# Enabling Electronic Signatures for Evaluations

Once a system administrator has [authorized electronic signatures](/v1/docs/authorize-electronic-signatures) for the district, other administrators can set them up for Strive evaluation documents. Educators and their evaluators can add their signatures to lock the document and conclude the evaluation process.

## Quick Guide

1. Select **Settings** () in Strive.
2. Select **Evaluation Options**.
3. Access the **Electronic Signatures** tab of **General Options**.
4. Select the checkbox for the **Enable electronic signatures for SchoolObjects:appraise** option.
5. Review the **Signature Refusal** and **Reflection Document Signature** options and make selections as appropriate.
6. Click **Save** () when finished.

**Step 5:** Review the **Signature Refusal** and **Reflection Document Signature** options and make selections as appropriate.

Allowing staff members to refuse to sign the document grants them the option to indicate their refusal on the document’s signature display. This action also locks the document from editing. Before the evaluator signs, the staff member can withdraw their refusal if necessary.
