=== Adding signatures ===

First, make sure the correct system selected in Pathfinder. Signatures can be added imported in bulk or individually. It is recommended to import them in bulk as it is much faster and easier to keep the system up-to-date.

First, make sure the correct system selected in Pathfinder. Signatures can be added imported in bulk or individually. It is recommended to import them in bulk as it is much faster and easier to keep the system up-to-date. Pasting signatures directly into the signatures window will update signatures immediately. Use the signature reader to check updates before applying them.

To quickly bulk import signatures:

Line 53:

* Copy all signatures ({{button|CTRL}} + {{button|A}} then {{button|CTRL}} + {{button|C}}) from the in-game scan window

* Paste the signatures ({{button|CTRL}} + {{button|V}}) into the signature pane

* Select "Update Signature"

Using the signature reader:

* Make sure you have the correct system selected in Pathfinder

* Open the signature reader from the top right of the signatures pane

* Copy all signatures ({{button|CTRL}} + {{button|A}} then {{button|CTRL}} + {{button|C}}) from the in-game scan window

* Paste the signatures ({{button|CTRL}} + {{button|V}}) into the signature reader

* New signatures are highlighted in green ~~and updates~~ in yellow, and signatures to be deleted in red

* New signatures are highlighted in green, updated signatures in yellow, and expired signatures are not highlighted

* Selecting "Lazy Delete" from the top left of the reader will highlight expired signatures to be deleted in red

* Press "Update Signatures" to process all signature updates

To add a single signature manually:

If a signature already existed in the system, the "Last Updated" timer will reset when the signature is updated. A signature that was not copied (i.e. it has expired) will not have its timer updated.

~~There is also a more detailed signature reader. To open it click the clipboard~~ icon at the ~~top right corner~~ of ~~the signatures panel. This works the same way as simply pasting the~~ signatures to ~~Pathfinder but with~~ a ~~preview window~~. ~~The "lazy delete" option can be used when importing all~~ the ~~signatures in a~~ system~~. With lazy delete, all old~~ signatures ~~that~~ are ~~not included in the new bulk import will be deleted. This allows for completely refreshing a system and clearing out any old signatures~~.

The "Undo" icon above the list of signatures allows for rolling back to a previous record of signatures. Useful if a signature is accidentally deleted or the wrong system's signatures are imported.

Preexisting signatures can also be edited or deleted in the signatures panel. Simply click the attribute you want to change.
