# Edit and Print Consent

Staff use the **Edit and Print Consent** option to input data digitally before printing the consent form. Once all required fields are completed, consent form is either emailed or provided as a physical copy for obtaining signatures.

{% hint style="info" %}
Both the **PRINT CONSENT FORM** and **EDIT AND PRINT CONSENT** buttons serve the same function of emailing or printing the consent form. The primary distinction between the two options are that the **EDIT AND PRINT CONSENT** feature allows for the digital capture of input data.

To create and map a consent form for the clinic, see [**Consent Form Builder**](/uniteemr/master-modules/consent-form/consent-form-builder/create-consent-form.md) and [**Consent Form Mapping**](/uniteemr/master-modules/consent-form/consent-form-mapping.md).
