2. (Optional) Grant access to the CodeTwo Admin Panel to other admins – find out how to invite users to become Admin Panel admins and let them manage tenants and subscriptions in your organization. 
3. Registering and configuring a Microsoft 365 tenant – find out how to add your tenant to the CodeTwo Admin Panel.
4. Configuring SPF records (server-side or combo mode only) – to avoid emails being treated as spam, you need to update your SPF records at your domain registrar.
5. Configuring Exchange Online connectors (server-side or combo mode only) – learn how to automatically or manually configure your connectors and specify users whose emails will be processed by CodeTwo.
6. (Optional) Installing the Manage Signatures App – see how to install a Windows-based application that lets you manage signature rules and compose email signatures (instead of using a web-based interface for managing signatures, available in the CodeTwo Admin Panel).
7. Deploying a signatures add-in (client-side or combo mode only). You can only use either of the two add-ins:
   • New experience: Deploying the modern CodeTwo Signatures Web Add-in for Outlook and OWA from the Microsoft 365 admin center
   • Classic experience: Installing the classic CodeTwo Signatures Add-in for Outlook (COM Add-in) globally via GPO (you can also send these instructions to your Outlook users if you want them to install the add-in manually).
8. (Optional) Installing the signature preview add-in globally or individually (server-side or combo mode only) – learn how to install our Outlook Web Add-in that allows you to preview signatures as you compose emails in Outlook and OWA.
