# How to revoke a signature?

## In SciNote you can go back and revoke your signature approval on a task after signing off on it.

Before reading this article we suggest you read through the article about Task status **[here](https://knowledgebase.scinote.net/en/knowledge/how-do-i-move-my-task-through-the-different-statuses?hsLang=en).** We would also recommend you read about how to request a signature**[here](https://knowledgebase.scinote.net/en/knowledge/how-do-i-request-a-signature?hsLang=en).**

If you do not have the role of the Organization administrator you are only allowed to revoke your own signatures. 

To **revoke** the signature, **follow these steps**:

1. Make sure you are added to the project that contains the selected task.
2. **Navigate** to the relevant task where you would like to revoke a signature
3. In the task **click** the **View signatures** button, where you can see all signatures and requested signatures.

4. In the Signatures window, you can **revoke your signature** as seen in the image below.[![hhhhh-2](https://knowledgebase.scinote.net/hs-fs/hubfs/hhhhh-2.png?width=655&name=hhhhh-2.png)](https://knowledgebase.scinote.net/hubfs/KB%20article%20screenshots/signature%20revoke.png?hsLang=en)
5. **Click** the **Revoke** button***.*** The signature request will reappear in the Signatures window and you will be able to sign the task at a later time.

To unlock a task and add changes, all signatures requested for that task need to be revoked. The task can then be moved from **In review** to **Completed**, which opens the task to editing.
