# Renew a sign link for an expired document

### **Renewing a sign link for an expired document**

When a document shows the status **SIGN LINK EXPIRED**, you can generate a new expiration date by selecting the file and clicking the **Renew expiration date** button on the top action bar. This restores the ability for the signer to access and complete the signing process.

### **Setting a new expiration date**

After selecting the Renew expiration date option, choose a new valid date from the calendar field. Once the desired date is entered, confirm the change by clicking the **Save** button. This action updates the document’s sign link and reactivates access for signers until the new expiration date.

### **Link reactivated after renewal**

Once the expiration date is successfully renewed, the document status returns to **IN PROGRESS** and the new expiration timestamp is shown in the column labeled Link expire at. This confirms the document is again accessible to the signers within the updated timeframe.
