Manage Your Signature and Initials During a Meeting
During a meeting, you can resize, delete (unless marked required), edit, or reset your signature and initials on both computer and mobile devices—though most changes require the document to be unlocked, and resetting signatures is only available on a computer after deleting all signature and initial fields.
The short answer: During a meeting, you can resize, delete, edit, or reset your signature and initials. Most changes require the document to be unlocked — if it's locked, ask the notary to unlock it first.
If signatures were placed in a previously completed meeting, it may not be possible to remove them.
