# Setting up your email signature in Salesforce

## Overview

Salesforce can add your email signature to the emails you send from Salesforce. Where you set it depends on which version of Salesforce you have turned on: Lightning Experience or Salesforce Classic.


## Finding your email signature in Salesforce

### Lightning Experience

1. Select your profile picture, then **Settings**.
2. Select **Email** > **My Email Settings**.
3. Enter your signature in **Email Signature** (up to 1,333 characters).
4. Select **Save**. Salesforce doesn't keep your changes until you save.

### Salesforce Classic

The path depends on your Setup menu:

<dl class="kb-insights-summary">
  <div><dt>Enhanced Setup menu</dt><dd>In the menu next to your name, select <strong>My Settings</strong>, then <strong>Email</strong> &gt; <strong>My Email Settings</strong>.</dd></div>
  <div><dt>Non-enhanced Setup menu</dt><dd><strong>Setup</strong> &gt; <strong>Personal Setup</strong> &gt; <strong>Email</strong> &gt; <strong>My Email Settings</strong>.</dd></div>
</dl>

## Which emails include your signature

- Salesforce adds your signature to all personal emails, and to emails that use text templates.
- Salesforce doesn't add your signature to emails that use HTML templates. For those, the signature must be part of the template.

:::tip[Signatures in Lightning email templates]
To include your **My Email Settings** signature in a Lightning email template, add the `{{{Sender.Signature}}}` merge field to the template. This merge field supports plain-text signatures only.
