Hi ​@Chinedu, 

Welcome to the Docusign Community! It's great to have you here. I understand that you are having difficulties with updating the email address for your envelope. I'm here to help.

Updating a template only affects future documents and will not automatically update an envelope that is already in progress. Because the envelope is active and some recipients have already signed, you can resolve this by using the Correct feature directly on the sent envelope. Correct an Envelope

Please follow these steps from a desktop browser:

  1. Log in to your Docusign account.
  2. Go to the Agreements tab and open your Sent or In progress folder.
  3. Locate the active envelope, click the 3 dots next to it, then select Correct.
  4. Find the recipient with the incorrect email and update it to the correct address.
  5. Click Next, review the placement of any fields, and then click Correct to finalize the change.


Important things to keep in mind:

  1. You can check the history of the envelope to see whether the email address was completely changed. (Go to the Agreements tab > Locate the envelope > Click the ellipse button (3dots) > Click on History).
  2. The signatures already collected from the other recipients will remain completely secure and valid.
  3. Once you save the correction, the link sent to the original email address will return an error.


I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.

Best regards,
