# Delegate documents

DocuSeal allows signers to delegate a signing request to another person. This is useful when the original recipient is not the appropriate person to sign the document or when they need to pass the responsibility to a colleague.

This feature is available in the Pro plan

Account admins can enable delegation in the account settings. By default, delegation is disabled.

1. Go to **Settings** → **Account** page.
2. Find the **Allow to delegate documents** toggle.
3. Toggle the option on.

Once delegation is enabled, signers will see a **Delegate** button on the signing form page.

1. Open the signing request email or link that was sent to you.
2. On the signing form page, click the **Delegate** button.
3. Enter the email address of the person you want to delegate the document to.
4. Click **Delegate** to confirm. The new recipient will receive a signing request via email.
