'Handschriftlich' (handwritten/by hand) can also be used as an adverb to describe a verb. It then answers the question 'How?'. Typical verbs are 'ausfüllen' (to fill out), 'korrigieren' (to correct), or 'ergänzen' (to add/supplement).

'schriftlich' and 'handschriftlich' can both mean that something exists as text. The difference is the way it is written. 'schriftlich' only means: not oral, but written. That can also be typed, printed, or digital. 'handschriftlich' is more specific: written by hand. The words can be confused because every handwritten text is also written. But not every written text is handwritten.
