Update a document

Document editing/ updating is also a part of document workflow and is used for the approval purposes. However, the updating activity does not involve digital signatures. Being an editor you can either update the document or can simply decline it.

Since updating is a workflow activity, so these documents are shared with certain exclusive permissions (e.g. printing, downloading, access duration, password protection, etc.) by the respective Document Owner.

Update a pending document

1. Click the "Documents" option, available at the top of the SigningHub screen. 
   Or click the "Pending" count link from your SigningHub Dashboard.
2. From your documents list, locate the pending document to update, and click the "Sign" button against it. 
   The document will be opened for updating.
   
   Alternatively, you can skip the above two steps and follow the document link in the notification email that has been sent to you by SigningHub. This will directly open the document for updating.
   
   
3. Add/ download attachments  as required (optional). 
4. Merge other pdf files  as required (optional).
5. Use the allowed document permissions as required (optional).
6. Fill in the form components (if any configured for you). 
7. Fill in the form fields (if any configured for you). 
8. Add your initials (if any configured for you). 
9. Add comments (if any).
10. Click the "Submit" button from the right of document viewer header, and agree to the legal notice (if any configured for you).
    
    
    
    The document is now updated, and its status will be changed from "Pending" to "Updated" in your documents list. The document owner will also be notified about this action through an email.
