 ### Signing Windows Binaries
 
-If you would like to sign Windows binaries, you can set `certificate` and the action will also take care of signing all binaries.
-It is also recommended to use `certificate-password`.
+If you would like to sign Windows binaries, you can configure Azure Key Vault credentials and the action will automatically sign all binaries after building. Signing is only performed for `windows-amd64` platform builds.
 
-The `certificate` should be a PFX (Personal Information Exchange) certificate file encoded in base64 format.
+The action uses the [espressif/release-sign](https://github.com/espressif/release-sign) action internally, which requires Azure credentials to access a certificate stored in Azure Key Vault. If the Azure client secret is not set, signing will be skipped with a warning message.
+
+To enable signing, you must explicitly pass the Azure credentials as inputs from your workflow. Set the following secrets in your repository and pass them to the action:

+### Optional Inputs for Signing Binaries
+
+For signing binaries on Windows, this action uses the [espressif/release-sign](https://github.com/espressif/release-sign) action. The following inputs are optional but required if you want to sign your Windows executables.
+
+Signing is optional but strongly recommended. The action will produce a warning if a Windows executable was built but was not signed.
