# Restoring a Document to the State when an Electronic Signature was Attached

When you sign a document with an Electronic Signature, the contents at that point are saved to the document. When you edit a document signed with one or more Electronic Signatures, the contents are modified while retaining the contents from the points when the document was signed. Even though the document displays its current contents when you open it, it internally stores all the contents from the points when it was signed with Electronic Signatures. This enables you to restore the document to the state when an Electronic Signature was attached.
You can restore a document to the state when an Electronic Signature was attached as follows. The restored document will be created as another document separate from the original one. For binders, the entire binder will be restored.
