Self signing before sending document to client for their signature

Hello,

With the classic dashboard, I believe I was able easily (quickly and without having to disconnect from my Gmail web account)  to sign before sending to the party that had to sign my contract.

With the new interface, I am lost!

I would prefer not having to send to me also, as it adds extra steps ...

Please help,

I have read your below post and answer but it requires me to add myself as recipient also, which is what I am trying to avoid ..

How do I sign (Myself) before sending to a recipient?
