You may need to make changes to the list of signees if, for example, you need to:

- Add another signee
- Remove a signee
- Replace an existing signee with another person
- Make minor edits to the email address (usually due to a typo)

Documents that **have not** been sent for signing can have the signees list edited. 

⚠️ Once a signature has been requested, **it is not possible to make any changes to the signees list.** This is mainly due to compliance reasons and the strict EU regulations regarding the [legally binding e-signatures used in Precisely.](https://help.precisely.se/en/articles/5981639-what-signing-providers-and-methods-does-precisely-use?hsLang=en)

If you need to make changes to the signee list but have already sent the document for signing, you will need to: 

1\. **Cancel a signature request**

2\. **Make necessary changes**

3\. **Send a contract for signing again**

### STEP 1/3: Canceling a signature request

To cancel an active signature request, simply

1. Click *Draft & sign* in the top menu and click the project that has an active signature request,
2. Click the *Cancel signing* button in the document’s options.

Once canceled, the signature page is no longer accessible via email link and any signatures that have already been made are revoked:

### STEP 2/3: Make edits to the signees list

Add, remove, change, or edit your signees.

Make sure to double-check everything before sending the contract for signing again!

### STEP 3/3: Send the contract for signing again

When everything is ready, you will need to send the contract for signing again.

![Screenshot 2022-08-02 at 11.44.25](https://help.precisely.se/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202022-08-02%20at%2011.44.25.png?width=688&name=Screenshot%202022-08-02%20at%2011.44.25.png)

**⚠️ Please note:**

Even if some of the signees had already signed before the signature request was canceled, **everyone will need to sign the contract again**.

Your signees won't know the signature request has been canceled unless they try to access the signature page. Therefore, it's recommended that you **[include a signing message](https://help.precisely.se/en/articles/504548-how-do-i-send-a-contract-for-electronic-signature?hsLang=en#:~:text=Entering%20your%20message,your%20user%20settings.)** explaining why the request was canceled when resending the document for signing.
