Mobile Signing

Aoexl now treats mobile signing as a separate UX from desktop editing.

Current Direction

  • phones use a field-first signer shell
  • tablets use a lighter document-first signing layout
  • desktop keeps the fuller document view with helper controls

Phone UX

On narrow screens, signer mode should prioritize completion over document chrome.

Current mobile signing includes:

  • bottom actions for Pages, Next Field, and Fields
  • compact signer toolbar
  • full-screen or compact signature capture
  • fit-page opening behavior

Known Expectations

  • zoom should change in 5% increments on phones
  • side panels should not permanently reduce document width
  • field outlines should be subtle, not dominant
  • field text should shrink with the field box

Testing Checklist

Use these checks on real hardware:

  1. open a signer link
  2. confirm the document fits without desktop-style overflow
  3. tap Next Field
  4. open Pages
  5. open Fields
  6. draw a signature
  7. zoom in and out repeatedly
  8. rotate the phone if supported

Remaining Work

  • final real-device validation on iPhone Safari and Android Chrome
  • confirm compact flows for:
    • opening a signer link
    • next field navigation
    • floating signature indicator vs side panel
    • signature draw/apply
    • zoom + horizontal pan after zoom
    • submit/finish
  • tighten any device-specific quirks found in that pass without changing the locked desktop baseline
