# Modify the signing order for signatories

# Modify the signing order for signatories {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 10, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Modify the order in which signatories sign a contract document that has not yet been sent for signature.

## Before you begin

The contract request must not yet be sent for signature.

Role required: sn_cm_core.contract_fulfiller or sn_cm_core.contract_user

## About this task

The signing order for a signatory is set for the first time when the signatory is added to the contract request. For more information, see [Add signatories in self-served contract request](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/roe04IVlvjj_vmbZmCG6CQ "Add signatories to a self-served contract request when the contract is generated from a template configured with signature blocks.").

Modify the signing order in Contract Workspace before the contract document is sent for signature.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to your workspace.
2. Open the contract request.
3. Navigate to the Signatories tab.
4. In the Signing Order column, select the order value for a signatory.
5. Enter the signing order number.  
   Note:  
   To group two or more signatories to sign at the same time, assign them the same signing order.
6. Select outside the field, or select Save.

## Result

The Signatories reflect the updated signing order.

If the signing order contains a gap, it updates automatically when the contract is sent for signature. For more information, see [Send a contract document for signature](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/1_CeUZli2lE_llmcDq5_YQ "Send the document for signature after a contract document has been reviewed and finalized.").
