# Cancel a sent document

You can cancel a document that has been sent but not yet signed. Canceling immediately invalidates the recipient's signing link — they will no longer be able to open or sign the document from the email they received. You must provide a reason when canceling.

## Before you begin

Cancellation is only available for documents in **Sent** or **Viewed** status. Documents that have already been signed cannot be canceled.

## 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
> 
> Canceling a document cannot be undone. Once a document has been cancelled, all approver and recipient signing links are permanently invalidated. If the document needs to be signed, send it again to generate a new signing link.
