How do you edit a document that has already been sent to a recipient to sign?

Community Expert

Thank you for reaching out here in the DocuSign Community.

You can apply changes to any envelope or recipient that has not been marked as completed.

Once a recipient completes their action (or the envelope), the system will not accept any further alterations.

If what you need to change is the document itself, it can be possible if no recipient has signed, you can use the option to replace the document to not lose any fields that were on the previous one, but if someone did, you would need to void the envelope and send a new one with the correct document. If the document is locked even if no recipient has signed, then you would also need to void it and send a new one out for signature.

You can find more details regarding how to correct an envelope, here:

If you need further guidance, you can create a Customer Support case and have a Tech Support Expert take a closer look at your setup.
