    <summary><span class="kb-faq__question">I don't have a signature. How do I get one?</span></summary>
    <div class="kb-faq__answer">
      <p>Contact the signature administrator at your company. They'll email you your <a href="https://help.opensense.com/docs/what-is-the-opensense-signature-block">signature block</a>, or a <a href="https://help.opensense.com/docs/mysig">MySig</a> link to create your own.</p>

  <details id="q-i-sent-an-email-with-my-signature-block-but-when-i-look-in-the-sent-mail-folder-i-do-not-see-my-email-signature">
    <summary><span class="kb-faq__question">I sent an email with my signature block, but I don't see my email signature in my Sent folder</span></summary>
    <div class="kb-faq__answer">
      <p>This is expected. Opensense email signatures appear "un-transformed" in your Sent folder. One of the best ways to preview your email signature is to send a test email to a personal email address.</p>

  <details id="q-the-fields-in-my-signature-block-dont-match-the-text-on-my-transformed-signature-for-example-my-phone-number-is-formatted-as---1234567890-in-my-signature-block-but-the-phone-number-appears-123-456-7890-in-my-transformed-signature">
    <summary><span class="kb-faq__question">The fields in my signature block don't match the text in my transformed signature</span></summary>
    <div class="kb-faq__answer">
      <p>For example, your phone number is formatted as 123.456.7890 in your signature block, but appears as 123-456-7890 in your transformed signature.</p>
      <p>Field data enters your signature according to <a href="https://help.opensense.com/docs/field-data-priority">field data priority</a>. If the text in your transformed signature is different, your Opensense admin has locked that field. Ask your admin to fix the error, or to <a href="https://help.opensense.com/docs/locking-unlocking-compliance-fields">unlock the field</a> on the <strong>Compliance</strong> or <strong>Departments</strong> page.</p>

    <div class="kb-faq__answer">
      <p>If the formatting of the signature doesn't match the signature template, this user isn't using Opensense. Make sure they have their <a href="https://help.opensense.com/docs/what-is-the-opensense-signature-block">Opensense signature block</a> saved in their email signature settings on every device they send email from, including mobile phones. To save the signature block on most devices, see the <a href="https://help.opensense.com/docs/opensense-on-microsoft-365">Microsoft 365</a> and <a href="https://help.opensense.com/docs/opensense-on-google-workspace">Google Workspace</a> guides.</p>

    <div class="kb-faq__answer">
      <p>Make sure you selected the options in your signature settings to apply the signature to <strong>New messages</strong> and <strong>Replies/forwards</strong>. To save the signature block on most devices, see the <a href="https://help.opensense.com/docs/opensense-on-microsoft-365">Microsoft 365</a> and <a href="https://help.opensense.com/docs/opensense-on-google-workspace">Google Workspace</a> guides.</p>
