What are tags used for in DocuSign?

In DocuSign, tags are utilized primarily to highlight specific fields or instructions within a document. This functionality ensures that recipients can quickly identify areas that require their attention, such as signature fields or required information. By using tags, senders can make the signing process smoother and more user-friendly, guiding recipients on what they need to complete, thereby reducing the chance of missed steps in the signing process.

Other options present different functionalities that do not relate to the primary use of tags. For instance, encryption is a security feature aimed at protecting document contents rather than focusing on directing user attention. Automated workflows pertain to the overall process management within DocuSign, streamlining how documents are handled and routed. Generating reports on user activity is a part of monitoring and analytics within the platform, useful for understanding engagement and usage patterns but not related to the emphasizing function of tags.
