Tutorials

Tutorials are end-to-end walkthroughs that take you from start to finish on a specific real-world task. Unlike the reference pages in Signum Admin Web Console or the tool-focused Signing Guides, each tutorial here connects multiple parts of Signum into one coherent workflow: admin setup, user configuration, agent installation, and the signing task itself.

If you are brand new to Signum, start with Getting Started before working through a tutorial.

What makes a tutorial different from a guide?

The Signing Guides answer the question "how do I sign X with tool Y?”, assuming Signum is already set up and focus on a specific tool or file format. Tutorials answer "how do I accomplish this whole scenario?", covering the admin-side setup and the end-user experience together, including everything that needs to be in place before the first signing command runs.

If you know your way around Signum but need a specific signing command, go to Signing Guides. If you are setting something up for the first time or working through an unfamiliar scenario end-to-end, start here.
