Use this interactive demo to learn how to reassign a DocuSign document to a new signer.

Quick summary

Reassigning a DocuSign document lets you redirect a signing request to a new recipient directly from your email without canceling the envelope. Using the Assign to Someone Else option in DocuSign, you can transfer signing responsibility in just a few clicks.


Steps

  1. Open Google Mail and click Review Document in the email assigned to you.
  2. Select the Other Actions drop-down menu inside the DocuSign signing interface.
  3. Choose Assign to Someone Else from the available options.
  4. Enter the new recipient's name and email address in the provided fields.
  5. Provide a reason for reassigning the document in the empty field.
  6. Click Confirm to submit the reassignment and send the document to the new recipient.
  7. The DocuSign document is now successfully reassigned to the new signer.

📌 Why this matters

Knowing how to reassign a DocuSign document saves time when the wrong person receives a signing request or when signing responsibilities change within a team. The Assign to Someone Else feature eliminates the need to void and resend an envelope, keeping document workflows moving without delays. This is especially valuable for contract managers, HR teams, and operations staff who handle high volumes of electronic signatures. Streamlining the DocuSign reassignment process reduces bottlenecks and ensures agreements are signed on time.
