How to Reassign a Document to Another Signer

If you receive a signature request but you are not the right person to sign, you can reassign the document to someone else. This forwards the signing request to a new signer without needing the sender to resend the document.

Before You Begin

The sender must have enabled the Allow signers to reassign documents to someone else option in their Business Settings. If you do not see the Reassign option, contact the sender to request reassignment on your behalf.

How to Reassign a Document

1. Open the signature request email and click Review & Sign.
2. On the signing page, click the Actions menu in the top-right corner.
3. Select Reassign.
4. In the popup that appears, enter the New Signer Name and New Signer Email.
5. Optionally, add a reason for the reassignment.
6. Click Reassign to confirm. The new signer will receive an email with the signing request.

Note: Once you reassign a document, you will no longer be required to sign it. The new signer will receive all subsequent notifications.
