Disabling content copying can hinder the ability of users who rely on assistive technologies, such as screen readers, from accessing and interacting with your content.
Hide Font Based Signing Option: Hiding font-based signing options in eSignature to limit the types of signatures that users can apply to documents. Font-based signatures often involve users selecting a signature font and typing their name in that font to create a signature-like appearance.
Hide Draw Option: Hiding the "Draw" option in eSignature is a specific configuration choice that prevents users from manually drawing their signatures using a stylus, finger, or mouse. Disabling this option may be necessary for specific use cases where you want to limit the types of signatures that can be applied to documents.

Users can configure their own time zone settings in their user profiles. This allows each user to view timestamps in their local time zone, making it easier to track and understand when events occurred.
Email notification settings that allow users to choose the email language and ensure that communication is delivered in a same language to the users.
