# Managing your team signatures

Missive lets you easily manage your team's signatures from a central place. It's the perfect way to achieve a uniform brand look across your teammates' signatures!

To create your first centrally managed signature, go to **Settings** > **Signatures**.

Only the organization owner and admins can create and edit managed signatures.

### Works with dynamic variables

Use [Liquid syntax](https://shopify.github.io/liquid/) to add variable information to your templates. It works just like in [canned response variables](https://missiveapp.com/docs/core-features/canned-responses/using-variables).

For example, if you type this in the signature editor:

```liquid
{{ user.first_name }} {{ user.last_name }}
```

It would render the person's first and last name, based on their profile data. You can also preview everyone's signature by selecting their name from the drop-down menu.

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://3242897856-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F1If7JwIQhfz5wGM9LiIU%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-7c5d2f65de5c2141407414dad2902dddc8c2f9af%2Fguides-variables.png?alt=media" alt="Insert dynamic content to managed signatures" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Variables are not limited to text, you can insert dynamic graphics to signatures. For example, if you wanted to show the Missive user's profile picture. You could type this in the editor:

```liquid
<img src="{{ user.avatar_url }}">
```

You may want to add a few style attributes to make it look great:

```liquid
<img src="{{ user.avatar_url }}" style="width: 50px; border-radius: 4px;">
```

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://3242897856-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F1If7JwIQhfz5wGM9LiIU%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-f87e16a3dd9cbf4b37c581031ba0188db3a34661%2Fguides-image-variables.png?alt=media" alt="Insert dynamic images to managed signatures" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

On the other hand, if you wanted to display a static image like the company's logo, you would need to insert a publicly available image address.

```liquid
<img src="https://example.com/image-url.jpg">
```

### Dynamic data comes from editable user profiles

Users have editable profiles. They work similarly to contact cards. Open **Settings > Users** to edit your own and others' profiles or do it straight from the signature's editor.

You can fill default fields:

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://3242897856-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F1If7JwIQhfz5wGM9LiIU%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-535860824516ea684abcb7ad7634b86a8486a1e5%2Fguides-profile.png?alt=media" alt="Editable profiles for all members" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

And you can also add custom ones:

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://3242897856-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F1If7JwIQhfz5wGM9LiIU%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-7ac8f265b8641b9a17ffac27feca1ae2a08174fd%2Fguides-custom-field.png?alt=media" alt="Custom fields in member profiles for managed signatures" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

For example, if you create a custom field like the one above and type this in the signature editor:

```liquid
{{ user.custom.employee_id }}
```

The signature would show each employee's ID:

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://3242897856-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F1If7JwIQhfz5wGM9LiIU%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-c6320da08330a18428a65acb568ded2e67fa3920%2Fguides-employee-id.png?alt=media" alt="Employee ID in managed signature" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

### Shared with everyone in the organization

In a matter of seconds, people all over the organization can get the official company signature. No more struggling to get a uniform brand look.

{% hint style="info" %}
Once a managed signature is created, it's important for all email account owners to configure the managed signature on their aliases in their account settings. See [Setting up email signatures](https://missiveapp.com/docs/core-features/aliases-and-signatures/setting-up-email-signatures) for more information.
{% endhint %}
