Re-sign a document
Sometimes a signed document needs to be signed again — for example, if the content needs to be updated or if the signing needs to include different signers. The re-signing flow depends on the type of document.
Files and Hippoly Docs
Create an unsigned copy, then sign the copy.
Meeting minutes
Recall the minutes to draft, make your changes, then sign again.
Re-sign a file or Hippoly Doc
A signed file or Hippoly Doc cannot be edited directly. To re-sign, you first create an unsigned copy of the document, which gives you a new editable file based on the original content before it was signed. The original signed document is not affected.
The original signed document remains unchanged. Both the signed original and the new copy exist side by side in the folder, so you keep a complete audit trail.
Re-sign meeting minutes
Meeting minutes work differently because they are tied to the meeting itself. Instead of creating a copy, you recall the minutes back to draft, which makes them editable again. You can then update the content and start a new signing.
Sign again
When the minutes are ready, send the minutes for e-signing again from the protocol panel.
Recalling the minutes makes them invisible to all meeting participants until you share or sign them again. Make sure to communicate with participants if they need to know that the signed version is being revised.
