A signer cannot sign or did not receive the request
The invitation email never arrived, the link has expired, the code does not work or it is not the signer's turn: find the cause and fix it in Drime Sign.
Most signing problems come from an email that did not arrive, a link that is no longer valid, or a verification code. Start from what the signer sees, then follow the matching fix.
In Tools > Sign, open the request: each signer's status shows where they stand, and Email activity shows whether the invitation emails were opened.
Checks
Is the request still Pending? A request that is Expired, or that a signer declined, can no longer be signed.
Is the signer's email address right? Check it under Signers in the request.
Is it the signer's turn? With a signing order, only the current signer can sign.
How to fix it
#The signer did not receive the email
Ask the signer to look in their spam folder. Then click Remind next to them: Reminder sent confirms a new email.
You can also copy their link with Link next to their name, and send it yourself. See Share a signing link yourself.
#The link says it has expired
This signing link has expired means the deadline has passed. Send the document again in a new request, with a later deadline or none. See Set reminders and a deadline for a signature request.
#It is not the signer's turn
It is not your turn to sign yet. means an earlier signer in the signing order has not signed. Remind the current signer. See Choose the order in which people sign.
#The verification code does not arrive or does not work
The signer clicks Didn't get the code? Try again to get a new one. Invalid signing code. means a typo; Too many attempts. Request a new signing code. means 5 wrong codes: they ask for a new code. See Verify your signers' identity with a code.
#The link asks for a password
The sender has protected this signing link with a password. Send the signer the password you set, separately from the link. To remove or change it, see Share a signing link yourself.
#The signer declined by mistake
Click Resubmit under the signer: they receive a new invitation and can sign. See When a signer declines.
#The signer says they already signed
