Can I correct a mistake after sending a document for signature?

Asked byÉCÉquipe CertyneoCertyneo teamTroubleshooter · 70621 Sept 2026

I'm preparing an envelope for my rental contract to be signed. I've checked several times, but I just realized there's a spelling mistake in the text. Can I correct it now that the document is already sent?

Accepted answer

No, once the document is sent for signature, any modification is considered an unauthorized change and will invalidate the electronic signature. To correct this mistake, you must:

Cancel the envelope: Access the envelope in question, click the "Cancel" button and follow the instructions to delete the envelope.
Duplicate the envelope: Create a new envelope with the corrected document, adding or modifying the text as needed.
Resend the envelope: Send the corrected envelope again to the signers who have not yet signed. If a signer has already signed, they will need to re-sign the complete document.

It is important to respect the integrity of the signed document to guarantee its legal validity. Learn more about envelope sending and management features.
