Update QR-Code signatures

GroupDocs.Signature Cloud provides a method to update some signature properties by it’s id. The signature ID is needed to perform the update, it comes from the result of sign or search operation.

API usage

There are steps that usage of GroupDocs.Signature Cloud consists of:

  1. Upload input document into cloud storage
  2. Update signatures
  3. Download output document

For storage operations, like uploading or downloading documents, please refer to the corresponding articles of this manual.

Swagger UI lets you call this REST API directly from the browser.
