Add SMS verification and/or signing

If you select to add SMS verification and/or signing we will prompt you to add a valid mobile number before you can proceed with the transfer signature rights function

If there already is a selected authorization method

If there is already a added verification method you have the option to remove it and select another or add more authorization methods on top of the already selected one.

Remove recipients

It is not possible to delete a recipient from a sent document.
The only option available is to recall their signing rights. This is only possible to do if no one has started to sign the document.
In the case where the document has mistakenly been sent to a recipient who should not have received it, a new version of the document should be created with the incorrect recipient removed, and the document should be re-sent.
