Canceling Documents in Signority

Sometimes, after sending a document for signing, you may need to stop the signing process. Signority provides flexible cancellation options that allow you to control what happens after cancelling a document.

If you are a signer and need to stop signing, you can reject the document instead.


Cancelation Options

When cancelling a document, you can choose from four different outcomes:

Cancellation Type

Description

Cancel the document and send an email notifying the signers

Cancel the document and do not send an email to the signers

Cancels the document without creating a copy or alerting recipients.

Cancel the document and create a copy to resend with added content

Creates a copy of the document package, including workflow, recipients, tags, and any previously entered data (except signatures/dates).

Cancel the document and create a copy to resend without added content

Creates a copy of the document package, but excludes any data previously entered by recipients.

Note: If you need to correct or update a document before sending it again, choose one of the “create a copy” options above and follow the steps in Cancel and Resend a Document.
