The request to allow for multiple signatures in Gmail is a long-standing one. Until Google announced the feature to create and use multiple signatures in Gmail, the only way to address that requirement was through Canned Responses (Templates).
Following the announcement and a subsequent deferment, the feature is now being made available in personal Gmail addresses. Hence, this blog, which for ease of navigation, is divided into the following sections:
The first step
Visit the Signature section in the General tab under Gmail settings (https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#settings/general).
If you do not have any signature created, you will find the Signature section as below.
If on the other hand, you already have a signature created, you will find that included in the newly designed Signature section.
To create a new signature
Click on the "+ Create new" button to create a new or additional signature. In there, first, enter the name of the signature and then click on the blue Create button.
Thereafter, you will see the signature name highlighted and area to include the contents of the signature displayed alongside as indicated in the screenshot below.
To save the signature, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the "Save Changes" button.
To edit a signature
- Simply select the signature you wish to edit by clicking on that.
- Click on the content area
- Amend the signature as per your requirement.
- Click on the "Save Changes" button at the bottom of the page.
Note: The "Pencil" icon next to the signature name is to edit the signature name and not for editing the content of the signature.
To delete a signature
- Click on the "Trash can" icon next to the Signature name.
- Click on the blue Delete button to confirm your action.
Setting signature defaults
This feature allows you to specify which signatures to appear as default when you write a new email and when you reply/forward to received emails.
If you have other "Send mail as" addresses, you can select the signatures to appear as default when you write a new email and when you reply/forward to received emails individually for those accounts.
To insert or change a signature
Based on how the signature defaults are set up, one or no signature will show up upon clicking on the Compose button in Gmail. As my signature for New Emails is saved to show Signature A, that shows up (and a checkmark is shown against it) in the screenshot below.
To change the inserted signature or to insert a signature of your choice, click on the "Insert Signature" icon in the Gmail Compose Window and then select a signature option of your choice.
Clicking on the "Manage signatures" option will open the Signature section in the General tab under Gmail settings.

I have created a gmail signature, but even though I typed it in single spaced, it is coming up double space. I cannot see how to change this? Also I had used the hyperlink for my links, but when I do an email, they are not highlighted to click on? Lastly, I added my business card to the bottom of the page, but it does not print out on the sent email? Please help!!!!
ReplyDelete"even though I typed it in single spaced, it is coming up double space."
Delete-- Did you type it in the signature box itself or copy pasted it from another program? If you copy pasted it from another place, it is possible that certain formatting codes could cause this. The best option is to always format your text content within the signature box inside Gmail.
"Also I had used the hyperlink for my links, but when I do an email, they are not highlighted to click on"
-- This should not be the case. Are you able to see the Go to link when you hover over the linked text in the Signature box in Gmail? Does it show correct?
"I added my business card to the bottom of the page, but it does not print out on the sent email?"
-- Is it in the form of text content or an image? If it is an image, is it saved in some place where it can viewed by anyone through an URL? Also, is this something that happens on your end or the recipient's end? If this is on your end, what exactly do you see instead?
Another excellent blog, as usual!
ReplyDeleteThank you, kind sir. :)

ReplyDeleteMy "no signature" line will not go away. When I attempt to save the changes I can find the other signature that I saved. But the it does not show when I try to find it with the pen. When I open the signature it doesn't show that I have saved any...etc.
ReplyDeleteMy suggestion would be to test by:
Delete1. using a different browser
2. using a different computer
3. deleting all existing signatures and creating them anew

My signature won't save. I create it exactly by instructions. After clicking on save changes at the bottom, it doesn't appear in my emails. When I go back to settings, the signature that I created is not there.
ReplyDeleteSorry for the late response. Can you please try this:
Delete1. using a different browser
2. using a different computer
3. deleting all existing signatures and creating them anew
