Check signatures

Open Signatures in the side panel and select Validate all. Each signature shows Valid, Invalid or Validity unknown, who signed it, when, whether the document was Changed after signing, and whether the certificate was revoked.

Validity unknown usually means the signature is intact but its certificate is self-signed or from an issuer Waraq doesn't know.
