When this will happen:
General Availability (Worldwide): We began rolling out late November 2024 and expect to complete by January 2025.
How this will affect your organization:
Before this rollout, users only had third-party (non-Microsoft) plugin options for eSignatures in SharePoint.
After the rollout, if your region is now supported, you will be able to configure and use SharePoint eSignature in SharePoint Online.
What you need to do to prepare:
If you have SharePoint Premium configured before this rollout, you will need to turn on this feature.
If you sign up for SharePoint Premium after the rollout, the feature will be on by default, but you can turn it off.
