# Adding Signees to a Safety Document

There are two signee types: Default Signing People and Signing People. Default Signing People must be added to the Safety Document template *before* the Safety Document is added to the Scaffold (or Request). If you wish to add new default users to a Safety Document, you must archive the original Safety Document, then add a new one.

If Signing People are added after the document has been added, these users will be removed when the document is archived. Adding Default Users to the Safety Document template will save time, as you will not need to add users each time a new document is added.

### Adding Default Signing People

To do this

1. Open a Scaffold’s details
