Consequences of canceling a signature request
If you have a signature request with two or more signers and have defined a signing order, only the signers who have received the signature request will be notified of the cancellation.
When you cancel an ongoing signature request, participants will receive a notification and will no longer be able to access the signature page.
You can still download documents of the canceled signature request and duplicate the signature request after it has been canceled.
