Description

When a user creates an Honor Seat for a course and sets up a certificate with all required information, including adding a signature, the signature does not appear on the certificate preview.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Create an Honor Seat for a course, django -> course modes

  2. Create a certificate for the same course.

  3. Add all certificate details (Course title override, Name, Title, signature image).

  4. Save the certificate.

  5. Click on Preview Certificate.

Expected Result:
The signature should be visible on the certificate preview as configured.

Actual Result:
The signature does not appear in the certificate preview, even though it has been added and saved.

Trace the certificate creation and preview entry points to find where the saved signature is handled. Done means the configured signature appears in the certificate preview.
