Edit the signing order after sending a document

Reorder recipients or add new signers to a sent document without restarting the entire signing process.

You can change the signing order or add new recipients even after a document has been sent. This allows you to fix mistakes or adjust the workflow without needing to cancel and recreate the document.
​

Note: Only signers and viewers can be added or reordered after sending. If you need to add an Approver, you must create a new document version, which will restart the signing process.
