GovWell offers a feature to add digital stamps to documents in plan reviews to easily mark up and provide feedback on documents.

You can create various custom stamps, such as your jurisdiction's logo, your signature, or any other information you'd like to mark in your plan reviews. Let's create our first stamp!

Access your Stamp Templates by pressing 'Settings' -> 'Stamp Templates'
​

The Stamp Templates page displays a list of all the stamp templates you created. These templates are only visible to you. To create a new one, press the '+ Create Stamp Template' button
​

This is the Stamp Template creator page - let's explore the features at your disposal!
​

​

You'll be able to see your Stamp Name at the top left corner - identify your stamp by giving it a name here.
​

​

On the top right corner, you can see the sharing scope of your stamp (covered in further detail later in this article) and the options to Update Sharing and Archive.

Customize your stamp name and border settings using this menu on the right side of your stamp creator
​

1) Show Border: toggle borders on and off
​

​2) Border Width: Adjust the thickness of your border lines to help them stand out in documents with many elements.
​

​3) Opacity: set the overall opacity of your stamp to allow elements underneath the stamp to remain visible
​

​4) Width and Colors: customize the dimensions and color of your stamp borders and text elements
​

​

This is where we create and customize the contents of the stamp!

1) Select: activates Select mode which allows you to move and resize the elements in your stamp canvas

2) Text: add and customize the text in your Stamp options. You can customize the text content, the font size and adjust its rotation. You can place more text layers by clicking on the 'Text' option and clicking on the stamp canvas again

3) Add Image: add an image to your canvas and customize some of its properties. We also offer a feature to remove the background from your image! GovWell will process your image and attempt to make the background color transparent. This tool works best when images have a solid, flat background and simple shapes.

4) Add Signature: add your signature to your stamps and customize its size and rotation. There's also an option to edit your signature from your settings page. For more information check How to create your digital signature

5) Add date: add the date the stamp is applied and customize its' font size and rotation

You can make your stamps available for your teammates to use in Plan Reviews as well! To do this, simply look for the three dots next to the stamp you want to share and select 'Update sharing'

Then, simply select which sharing option you want for your stamp: Personal use, Module-wide or Organization-wide. Click 'Save changes' to apply the changes

Now that you have created your stamp, you can use them in your plan reviews. To add a stamp to a document, first press the stamp icon on the top left side of your Plan Review board

Then, click where in the document you want the stamp to be added and select your stamp, the date (in case your stamp has a date) and if you want to stamp in more files/pages

And that's how you create and use your very own stamps using GovWell!
