# Cancel a sent document

Cancel a document you've sent for signature so the recipient can no longer sign it — for example, when it went to the wrong person or the terms changed. Cancelling is immediate and permanent.

## Before you begin

You cannot cancel a document once it has been **Signed**, **Declined**, **Expired**, or **Failed**.

## Cancel a document

1. Go to **Documents > Document Management**.
2. Select the document group that contains the document.
3. In the **Document Recipients** grid, find the recipient whose document you want to cancel.
4. Click the **menu ⋮ > Cancel Document**.
5. In the **Cancel Document** dialog, enter a reason for the cancellation.
6. Click **Confirm**.

> [!WARNING]
> Warning
> 
> Cancelling a document cannot be undone. It permanently invalidates the signing links for that recipient and their approvers. Other recipients in the same send are not affected. To have the document signed after cancelling, send it again to generate a new signing link.
