# Restoring a Document As It Was When Signed

When you sign a document, its content at that time is stored in the document. If you edit the signed document, its content on display changes reflecting the edit, while its content at the time of signing is still retained. When you open the document, its latest content appears, but every content at each time of adding a signature is stored in the document as well. Therefore, you can restore the document as it was when a signature was attached.
This topic describes how to restore a document as it was when signed with the use of Digital Certificate. The restored document will be created as another document separate from the original one. For binders, the entire binder will be restored.
