# Choose the order in which people sign

Have all your signers sign at the same time, or one after another in the order you choose, and see what changes for reminders and for each signer.

With several signers, you choose whether they all sign at the same time or one after another. By default, everyone is invited at once.

## Set the signing order

1. In the **Signers** step, add at least two signers.

   The **Set signing order** switch shows once there are two signers.

2. Turn on **Set signing order**.

   The step then says **Signers are invited one after another, in the order below. Drag to reorder.**

3. Drag the signers into the order you want.

   The first signer in the list signs first.

4. Click **Continue**.

You can also change it in the last step, **Review and send**, under **Signing order**: **Parallel (everyone at once)** or **Sequential (one by one)**. Both settings are the same option.

## What changes with a signing order

|  | **Parallel (everyone at once)** | **Sequential (one by one)** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Invitation email | All signers at the same time | The first signer. Each next signer is invited when the previous one has signed |
| Who can sign | Any signer, in any order | Only the signer whose turn it is |
| Automatic reminders | Every signer who has not signed yet | Only the signer whose turn it is |

A signer who opens their link before their turn cannot sign yet: the app answers **It is not your turn to sign yet.**

When everyone has signed, the document is completed, whatever the order.

> **Note**
>
> If a signer declines, the document is declined for everyone, whatever the order. See [When a signer declines](https://drime.cloud/support/sign/when-a-signer-declines).

## If it doesn't work

| What you see | What to do |
| --- | --- |
| **Set signing order** is missing | It shows from two signers. Add a second signer with **Add a signer**. |
| A signer sees **It is not your turn to sign yet.** | An earlier signer has not signed yet. The signer will receive an email when their turn comes. You can remind the current signer: see [Set reminders and a deadline](https://drime.cloud/support/sign/reminders-and-deadline#remind). |
