# Adding dynamic users
### Adding Dynamic Users (During Signing)
In some workflows, internal users are allowed to **add new participants dynamically while signing a document**. This capability is enabled by the initiator while creating the workflow from a template.
When this option is available, the signer will see an **Add Signatory** panel on the right side of the signing screen.
#### When can dynamic users be added?
* The document is initiated **from a template**.
* The initiator has enabled **dynamic participant addition**.
* The internal user is currently reviewing or signing the document.
This allows the workflow to be extended **without restarting or re-initiating** the document.
***
#### Adding a dynamic signatory
1. Click **Add Signatory** from the right-hand panel.
2. Select the role for the next participant:
* **Signer** – must sign the document
* **Reviewer** – can review but does not sign
3. Add the participant by:
* Searching for an existing user, or
* Creating a new user on the fly by entering their details.
Once confirmed, the system displays a success message indicating that the new participant has been added.
***
#### Placing signature placeholders
After adding the dynamic user:
* The signer is prompted to **drag and drop the signature placeholder** onto the document.
* The placeholder defines where the newly added participant must sign.
***
#### Completing the current signing step
* The current signer completes their own signing.
* Once completed, the document is automatically routed to the newly added participant.
***
#### Impact on signing order
* The **Signing Order Diagram** is updated in real time.
* The diagram clearly shows:
* The newly added participant
* Their role (Signer / Reviewer)
* Their current status (Pending / Completed)
This ensures full transparency into how the workflow has evolved during signing.
***
#### Why use dynamic users?
Dynamic user addition is useful when:
* An additional approver is identified mid-process
* A missing signer needs to be included
* The signing sequence needs to adapt to real-time business requirements
This feature keeps the signing flow **flexible, controlled, and audit-friendly**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://support.emsigner.com/initiate-and-sign-envelopes/signing-a-document/as-an-internal-user/adding-dynamic-users.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
