### Visual Appearance Settings

Before activating the Flexi Form Template, you can optionally control how signature options are presented to signatories.

From this screen, you can choose to hide specific signature input methods based on your requirements, such as:

* **Font-based signing** (typed signatures)
* **Draw option** (hand-drawn signatures)
* **Upload option** (uploading a signature image)
* **Topaz option** (hardware-based signature capture, if applicable)
* **My Signature** (previously saved signature, optional)

These settings help standardize the signing experience and ensure signatories use only the allowed signature methods.
