Creating a signature request is asynchronous, so check the status before you
treat a request as sent. The status is returned when you
[create](/guides/box-sign/create-sign-request),
[get, or list](/guides/box-sign/list-sign-requests) a request.

## Status values

* `converting`: The file is converted to a `.pdf` after you send the request.
* `error_converting`: Conversion to `.pdf` failed.
* `created`: `is_document_preparation_needed` is `true` and no one has visited the prepare URL yet.
* `sent`: The request was sent and no signer has interacted with it.
* `viewed`: The first signer selected **Review document** in the email or opened the signing URL.
* `signed`: All signers completed the request.
* `declined`: A signer declined the request.
* `cancelled`: The request was cancelled in the UI or API. For more information, see [Cancel a Box Sign request](/guides/box-sign/cancel-sign-request).
* `expired`: `days_valid` passed with incomplete signatures. For more information, see [Request expiration](/guides/box-sign/create-sign-request#request-expiration).

An error status means you need a new sign request to retry.
