Possible to delete my digital signature and re-sign?
Is it possible to delete a digital signature and re-sign a document if a change to the document is required?

Hello BrightLine,
No it is not possible to remove a signature, but you can make the changes, and then sign the file again.
Both signatures would remain Valid (meaning that they have not been tempered with), but the initial one, when you check it's status will say that the document was modified after you have signed that.
Of course this is provided that you do not have the document in it's original state before the first signature as a back up. In this case if you make the desired changes and sign the backed up copy - this will contain only one signature.
Best,
Stefan
