When an In-Progress workflow has reached a stalemate in your enterprise because the next configured recipient is unresponsive, SigningHub gives you authority to either:

  • Change that recipient and/ or 
  • Send them a reminder 

Because of super admin control, it doesn't matter whether the "Allow changing of recipients" permissions are allowed on the document or not.


In case you select the "Change Recipient" option, all the special privileges configured for the previous recipient (by their document owner) will be transferred to the new recipient, along with the predefined workflow role (i.e. signer, reviewer, editor, or meeting host).
