I have a contract where the first person has signed and I have a delay of one day for the second signatory to sign. I am now been told to have it sent earlier than then the scheduled time. Is there a function that can be applied to change this time?

Yes. I have already added a delay however I now need to edit that delay to an earlier time than initially opted for. Is this possible? If so, how may I go about editing this?


Hello Shivangi,

Thank you for the information, If you enter in the envelope "Correction" mode are you able to see the options to edit the Delay?

No, unfortunately I do not see an option to edit the delay. Is there any other options to edit the delay?image


Hello Shivangi,

I apologize for the inconvenience, after fully reviewing the information once the recipient completes their part, the delay cannot be changed; Only pending hold periods can be removed when correcting the envelope (not in progress or completed holds), however, a request to change this behavior as been submitted, currently we do not have an ETA on this.
