# How To Sign With Squads

> Use a Squads multisig with Magna to sign Solana transactions by connecting through the Squads wallet adapter. If no adapter connection is available, fall back to signing with raw transaction data.

[Squads](https://squads.so/) is a multisig for Solana. To sign your Squads transactions from Magna,
connect your Squads multisig through the **SquadsX** wallet adapter — the same way you'd propose from
a [Safe](/admins/product-guides/magna-quickstart-guide/step-1-set-up-key-project-details/step-1c-how-to-add-admin-wallet/how-to-configure-gnosis-safe-multisig-wallet)
on EVM chains.

## Requirement: SquadsX must be enabled

<Warning>
  Magna connects to Squads **only** through **SquadsX** — an additional Squads add-on (a paid feature)
  that you enable on your Squads account. Enable SquadsX in Squads **before** you try to connect;
  without it there is no wallet adapter for Magna to link your multisig through. This is the most common
  reason connecting Squads fails. If you can't or don't want to enable SquadsX, see
  [No SquadsX? Use raw transaction data](#no-squadsx-use-raw-transaction-data) below.
</Warning>

## Connect with the SquadsX wallet adapter

1. In Squads, enable **SquadsX** and make sure your signer is a member of the multisig with the
   required permissions.
2. In Magna, click **Connect Wallet** and select **Squads**.
3. Approve the connection in SquadsX to link the multisig to Magna.
4. Start the transaction in Magna as usual. Magna proposes it to your Squads multisig.
5. The required members review and approve the proposal in Squads. Once the approval threshold is
   met, execute the transaction from Squads.

<Note>
  Addresses and values will differ between any example and your own transactions in the app.
</Note>

## No SquadsX? Use raw transaction data

If you can't or don't want to enable SquadsX, there's no wallet adapter for Magna to connect through,
so you'll sign with raw transaction data instead.

<Warning>
  This is **not** the encouraged way to sign — use it only when enabling SquadsX isn't an option.
  Follow [Signing with raw transaction data](/admins/product-guides/magna-quickstart-guide/step-1-set-up-key-project-details/step-1c-how-to-add-admin-wallet/how-to-sign-with-raw-transaction-data):
  simulate the transaction in Magna, execute the raw data yourself, and sync the transaction hash back
  to update its status.
