Once a document has been created, you may want to update it with relevant information. This could for example be the names of the signing parties, email addresses for delivery and similar. The information you wish to update the document with should be supplied using url-encoded formdata where the key is named “document” and the value is the JSON:

document={“your”:”json”,”goes”:”here”}

Send this data as a POST request to /api/v2/documents/{document_id}/update
