Change Request & Revision Workflow

Don't restart. Revise.

When a signer needs changes — a wrong name, an incorrect date, a missing clause — they don't have to decline and restart the entire process. Instead, they click anywhere on the PDF to place a comment pin, type their request, and submit.

How It Works

  1. 1

    Any signer can click anywhere on the PDF to place a comment pin during the signing review.

  2. 2

    They type a change request: e.g., 'Please update the amount from $5,000 to $7,500'.

  3. 3

    The request is logged with coordinates, timestamp, and the signer's identity.

  4. 4

    The sender receives an email notification with the comment details and a link to the document.

  5. 5

    The sender uploads a revised version of the document — it replaces the original in the envelope.

  6. 6

    A new version is created (v2) with the updated fields. The previous version (v1) is preserved.

  7. 7

    All signers are re-notified with the updated document. Signing resumes from where it left off.

Technical Details

Comment pins stored with page, x_pct, y_pct, text, signer_id, timestamp in the change_requests table.

Revised document upload triggers a new PDF version (v2, v3, ...) with SHA-256 hash diff from previous.

Previous versions are retained (last 10 stored) — accessible for audit and dispute resolution.

When a revised document is uploaded, the envelope status resets to 'pending' and all pending signers are re-notified.

Why This Matters

Traditional e-signature platforms force you to decline and restart when ANY change is needed. That means re-uploading the document, re-placing all fields, re-sending to all recipients — losing all progress. IUSign's change request workflow preserves completed signatures, maintains audit history, and only requires re-signing from the point of change.

Version Control

Every revision creates a new PDF version with an incremental number (v1, v2, v3...). Each version has its own SHA-256 hash, and the diff between versions is computed and stored.

Change Request Limitations

Public link signers (anonymous signers via shareable URL) cannot submit change requests — this is by design to prevent abuse.
