How do I edit my email signature and greeting?

Designer Signature
Use this option if you want the most flexibility when designing your signature. Team administrators can share a standardized signature template with all team members through the Library.
Note:
- If you are part of a team and they have not yet provided a pre-customized signature you will go through the wizard to help you set up your signature.
- If your team has provided a pre-customized signature you will skip the setup wizard
- If you are not part of a team on Cloze feel free to use the Designer to create your signature

The signature designer offers several layouts to get you started. Once you are done you can continue customizing your signature.

The designer will pre-populate this information in your signature based on your own profile in Cloze. You can make further refinements and additions after you finish using the signature builder.
Upload a picture or logo as needed.
Cloze will automatically use the contact information, profile picture, and other details as you walk through the template designer. If your own Cloze profile does not include the information required for your email signature you will be prompted to add it.
Your profile picture can also be used in your email signature.
In this example, the profile is missing a picture and the headline (job title and company field).

Format the signature.
Add images as needed.
Link text and images to a webpage as needed.
Insert your profile picture.
Insert Unsubscribe and other Smart Links.
Paste your own signature HTML.
A few notes about how HTML signatures (not Designer signatures) work in Cloze:
- Images are attached in the email, not linked from another website. The benefit to you is that your signature images will show in almost all email clients even when images are turned off.
- Cloze limits each image in the signature to at most 100k. To ensure optimal viewing, your signature images are scaled down to at most 580px wide. This means that recipients will see your entire signature image.
- On mobile devices, we make sure images are never wider than the mobile device (we limit its width to 100% of the device). This means recipients generally will not have horizontal scrolling or images that hang off the edge.
Text Signature
Use this option when you want a simple, plain text signature that uses no additional formatting.
