Users with appropriate rights can remove signatures from a document. To remove a signature, you must either have created the signature yourself, be the owner of the document, or have the Delete Entry entry access right for the document. In addition, in all cases, you must have the Delete feature right. Signatures cannot be removed if an existing countersignature depends on them.
Signatures that are old, unnecessary, or invalid and no longer needed can be deleted. Removing a signature will completely delete the signature from the document, including from the version history.
To remove a signature from a document
In the Laserfiche Windows client
- Select a document, then open the Digital Signatures dialog box in one of the following ways:
- Right-click the document and selecting View Signatures.
- Open the Tasks menu, point to Digital Signatures and select View Signatures.
Open the Metadata dialog box or Metadata Pane. Select the Signatures tab.
- The Digital Signatures dialog box will open. Click Remove.
- The Remove Signatures dialog box will open. Select the signatures you want to remove.
- Click Remove again to remove the signatures.
Note: If any of the signatures that you are removing have been countersigned, removing them will also remove the signatures that countersigned them. You will be prompted to verify that you want to remove both the signatures and their countersigning signatures.
- Click OK.
