# Sign On Save

The Sign on Save features provides a way to sign scripts right after they are saved using a configured code-signing certificate. 

## Configuring Sign On Save

You can configure sign on save by enabling the feature in settings and providing a certificate path.

![](/files/-MZJhS6b7O8rNfJ0jZgS)

The path can be left empty and the extension will provide a quick pick drop down the first time you save a file. 

![](/files/-MZJheC8lja-spmsI8P6)

Once you select a certificate, it will store that in the Sign On Save Certificate setting. You'll notice the setting is the full path to the certificate in the certificate store. 

```
Microsoft.PowerShell.Security\Certificate::CurrentUser\My\Aasdfasdf23fdasfd0as872389723soad
```

With the setting enabled, any time you save a file, `Set-AuthenticodeSignature` will be called and your file will be signed.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.poshtools.com/powershell-pro-tools-documentation/visual-studio-code/sign-on-save.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
