Outlook has more than one signature screen. Use the path that matches your version, choose defaults for new messages and replies, then send a test before you rely on it.

Step by step

New Outlook and Outlook on the web

  1. 1

    Copy from Sign Pulsar

    Open the paid Studio, choose your final desktop or mobile-safe layout, and use Copy & install to copy the rich signature.

  2. 2

    Open the signature editor

    In New Outlook or Outlook on the web, open Settings, choose Accounts, then Signatures. Select the email account that should use the signature.

  3. 3

    Add and paste

    Choose Add signature, give it a clear name such as Sign Pulsar — Full, then paste into the editor and save.

  4. 4

    Set both defaults

    Choose whether the signature appears on new messages and on replies or forwards. A shorter reply signature can reduce repetition in long threads.

  5. 5

    Test the exact account

    Compose from the account you configured, send to another inbox, click every link, and inspect both a new message and a reply.

Fictional example

Example: full signature for new mail, compact for replies

Aisha Patel, MS, PMP saves a photo-and-logo version for new client messages and a compact name, title, phone, and website version for replies. Both examples use fictional LumenWorks details, and both are tested from the correct sending account.

Outlook checks worth making

  • Confirm which Outlook version you are using before following a menu path
  • Choose defaults separately for new messages and replies/forwards
  • If you use multiple accounts, select the right account before saving
  • Test in both Outlook and a non-Outlook inbox to catch formatting differences

Specific answers

Questions about this guide

Why do I see different Outlook instructions elsewhere?

New Outlook, classic Outlook, Outlook on the web, and Outlook for Mac use different menus. Start by identifying your version, then use Microsoft's maintained instructions linked above.

Why is my signature missing from replies?

New-message and reply/forward defaults are separate. Return to the signature settings for the correct account and choose the saved signature for replies and forwards.

Will Outlook preserve every font and layout?

Not always. Outlook versions use different rendering engines, and organizational policies can remove images or formatting. Send a test and use the mobile-safe Sign Pulsar preview when broad compatibility matters.

Build the signature before you open Outlook.

Preview the layouts, activate Pro to personalize, then copy the finished signature and return to this Outlook checklist.
