Void an in-progress DocuSign envelope, or correct and resend an envelope that has already been sent, via the API

Steps

1. To void: call the Envelopes update operation with a body setting status to voided and voidedReason to a required text explanation; voidedReason is included in the notification email sent to all recipients.
2. Only envelopes in sent/delivered (in-process) status can be voided; calls against draft, completed, declined, or already-voided envelopes are silently ignored — check envelope status first if certainty matters.
3. To correct an envelope (e.g., fix a document, tab, or recipient before completion), use the Envelopes / EnvelopeRecipients update endpoints to modify the relevant properties; by default DocuSign does not re-notify recipients of a correction.
4. To force re-notification after correcting, call Envelopes update with the resend_envelope query parameter set to true and an otherwise-empty body (notifies all pending recipients), or EnvelopeRecipients update with resend_envelope=true and the specific recipient object (notifies just that recipient).
5. Note the routing-order suppression rule: a recipient is normally only resent-to if their routing order is at or after the envelope's current next-recipient — resend_envelope=true overrides that default suppression.
6. Use correct-and-resend rather than void when the goal is to fix and continue the transaction, since voiding is irreversible and permanently terminates the envelope.
