# Deleting or Removing a Document

Once an evaluator and a staff member both sign a document, even if one of them submits it as refused, the document cannot be unsigned or edited again.

Users must recreate the document as a new one and delete the signed document. Only users with the [**Appraisal Administrator** role](/v1/docs/roles-for-strive-evaluators) can delete or remove documents.

There are two ways to delete or remove a document:

- Delete a document directly from the staff member’s evaluation process
- [Remove a document from **Evaluation Options**](/v1/docs/using-document-removal)
