How to Add a Signature in Outlook

First, you will have to log in to your Outlook account. This is not considered one of the three steps because I assume everyone already has an Outlook account.

Step 1. Click on the Gear Icon in the Top Right Corner

You should see this next page when you click on the gear icon.

Step 2. Click on Compose and Reply

Compose and Reply will be under the Layout section in the middle column. I will show you what this looks like in the photo below.

After you click on Compose and Reply, you will be taken to this screen.

Step 3. Enter Your Signature Name and Signature Message

After you enter your signature name and message, a “Save” button in blue will pop up at the bottom.

You will click the save button and then have completed your goal of adding a signature.

Using the last step, you can create multiple signatures and set them up for default messages. So, instead of adding it to every new message or reply, you can automatically add it.

Bonus Tip- Default Signature

After completing and saving your signature message, if you look below it, you will see ‘Select default signatures.’ You will click on both fields and select which signature you would like added to every new message you send. There is also a field underneath to add your signature to every reply you send.
