# Front Preset Signatures

## Overview

This article explains how to add a plaintext signature block in Front for both individual and shared inboxes. Opensense requires a plaintext block to be present in the Front signature so that a fallback version of the signature is available when messages are sent in plain text format.

## Before you start

- Front admin access to configure shared signatures

## Step-by-step guide

### Individual signatures

Individual signatures are configured per user and follow the teammate across all channels they have access to. To add or edit an individual signature:

1. In Front, click the gear icon and navigate to the **Personal** settings tab.
2. Select **Signatures** from the sidebar.
3. Click **Add a signature** to create a new one, or select an existing signature to edit.
4. In the signature text box, add the plaintext block — see [Adding the plaintext block](/docs/front-plaintext-signature-block#plaintext-block) below.
5. Click **Create** (or **Save** if editing).

For full details on individual signature settings, see [Create or edit individual signatures](https://help.front.com/en/articles/2264) in the Front Help Center.

### Shared signatures

Shared signatures are configured at the workspace level by an admin and are available to all teammates on the team. Individual signatures take precedence over shared signatures — if a teammate has an individual signature assigned, the shared signature will not apply for that user.

1. In Front, click the gear icon and navigate to **Workspace** settings.
2. Select **Signatures** from the sidebar.
3. Click **Create signature** to create a new one, or select an existing signature to edit.
4. In the signature text box, add the plaintext block — see [Adding the plaintext block](/docs/front-plaintext-signature-block#plaintext-block) below.
5. Click **Save**.

For full details on shared signature settings, see [Create or edit shared signatures](https://help.front.com/en/articles/2263) in the Front Help Center.

### Adding the plaintext block

Opensense uses the `[[+]]` delimiter to identify a signature. Any content placed between two `[[+]]` tags is used to generate the content displayed in the Opensense signature.

```plaintext
[[+]]
name: {{user.name}}
email: {{user.email}}
[[+]]
```

The variables `{{user.name}}` and `{{user.email}}` are dynamic — Front substitutes each teammate's actual name and email address when the message is sent. For a full list of supported variables, see [Using variables and application objects in message templates and signatures](https://help.front.com/en/articles/2306#variable_options).
