# Set signing order

## Introduction

With the release of the Zivver Office Plugin v6.5.0, it is now possible to set a signing order when sending out a document for signature. Setting a signing order is useful when it is important that specific recipients only sign a document after others have already placed their signature.

## Set a signing order

After you have added recipients and the document(s), follow the steps below to set a signing order.

1. Turn on the toggle **Set signing order**.

_The order will automatically be set from 1 to the last signer._
2. You can change the order in one of the following ways:

- Edit the numbers in front of the email addresses.
   - Drag and drop the signers (and people who receive a copy) into the desired order.

Tip

You can assign the same number to multiple signers or recipients who receive a copy, so they are set at the same level.
3. When you are satisfied with the signing order, send your document using the Outlook **Send** button.
4. In the [**Document Overview**](https://docs.zivver.com/en/user/esignatures/document-overview.html) you can review the signing order and the status of the signing flow.
