Stuck in "correct" status

Hi Sbuchan:

When you corrected the document did you complete the process by clicking on ‘send’ (or ‘finish’ - I can’t recall what the last box is called)? If you don’t complete this step the envelope can’t move out of ‘correcting’ status. 

Basically, you need to makes your changes then resend the document (and you can only make changes before the recipient signs - once a document is signed you can’t change anything).

good luck

Hi @sbuchan,

Welcome to the Docusign Community!

We are glad to have you here and can't wait to help share as much knowledge as possible.

I am sorry to hear that you haven’t been able to get your envelope out of the correcting status, but I will share the steps to correct this issue.

In order to trigger the envelope’s status to change, you will need to start a new correction in Agreements> Sent> Correct, and click “Correct” or “Discard Changes” at the end of the process.

For more details on this topic, see:

Why does my signer get the error "Envelope Not Accessible" when they try to open an envelope?

I am having the same issue, I clicked “correct” to see if I would be able to change a recipient email address, then I discarded the changes, but my document is “stuck” in “correcting” mode. 

So I tried to make a change (a recipient had already signed) but I am getting an API error saying too many tries or something like that.

This sounds like a bug, but of course no way to contact Docusign support, I am stuck.

If that rings a bell, thanks in advance for your help. 

I have the same issue and now I am stuck.
Please help us!

I am still stuck, I tried many times again, and no way to get “real” support.

This is the 1st doc I try to sign with Docusign, and I am already stuck… I guess that my evaluation is other, I will get a paid plan!

There are more people with the same problem in this thread: Help with error The API request is forbidden. Request blocked due to excess usage | Community 

 

Thanks MiriamLH.

Same problem indeed, but no solution, except maybe getting a paid plan! Docu does not seem to care much about fixing issues of trial users...
