This article will explain how to sign a document in Legislate.

## When can you sign a document?

Documents can be signed once the terms have been set and parties on both sides have been added. The checklist tab will have a red tick next to the **Review and Sign** when the document is ready to be signed.

You can cancel a signature if the other side has not signed by clicking on the bin next to the user who has signed. The counter party will receive a notification when you sign.
