# Fixing Duplicate Email Signatures in Google Workspace

This article explains why duplicate email signatures appear in Google Workspace when using Opensense *Stamping*, and how to resolve them by disabling local Gmail signatures.

## Why duplicate signatures happen

Duplicate signatures occur when a user has a local Gmail signature enabled **and** Opensense stamping is active. Gmail adds a signature during email compose and Opensense adds a signature during mail flow resulting in two signatures.

### Open Gmail settings

In Gmail, click **Settings** (gear) → **See all settings** → **General** → **Signature**.

- Click [here](https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#settings/general) to navigate to your signature settings

### Set both defaults to “No signature”

Under **Signature defaults**, set: • **For new emails use** → *No signature* • **On reply/forward use** → *No signature*

#### Remove custom signatures (optional)

If multiple signatures are listed, delete them to prevent re-selection.

#### Save changes

Scroll to the bottom of the page and click **Save Changes** to apply the update.

> [!WARNING]
> Important!
> 
> Gmail will not apply updates unless you click **Save Changes** at the bottom of the Settings page.

## Still seeing duplicate signatures?

- If duplicate signatures persist after updating your Gmail settings, check the following:
  - **Disable the Mobile Signature in Gmail (iOS/Android):**

Once disabled, Gmail will no longer append a separate mobile signature, ensuring that only the Opensense-stamped signature appears.
    - Open the **Gmail** app on your mobile device.
    - Tap the **three horizontal lines** (☰) in the top-left corner.
    - Scroll down and select **Settings**.
    - Choose your **email account** (if multiple are configured).
    - Tap **Signature settings**.
    - Toggle off **Mobile Signature**.
- Ensure other email clients and/or third party applications aren’t appending signatures.
- Verify domain-level Gmail compliance footers are adding signature-like content.
