There is no other parameter to be sent in this request because they will be inherited from the original document.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Obs:** dont mistake the extra document with [the batch sign via API](/english/signatarios/assinar-em-lote-via-api.md), because this one is made to sign multiple documents at the same time not to create attachments. They have different use cases.

### Frequently asked questions

#### Whats an attachment/extra document?

In case you use our web platform, you will notice that is possible to upload multiple PDFs at once to be signed by the same signers:

<figure><img src="/files/Us1eOYtMbPMSCehtdRFX" alt=""><figcaption><p>Example of the web application with 3 PDFs in one envelope.</p></figcaption></figure>

That way, when the signer is going to sign the document, she will be see all of them, to sign at once:

<figure><img src="/files/O7QnPDOSVwrpxuiaEGNc" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**The original document will be the number 1** and the **attachments will appear to the signer as the documents number 2,3, etc**. Doing a GET request on the original document, the attachments will be on the **"extra\_docs"** paramenter.

**Can i place signatures on an attachment?**\
Yes! Just send yout attachment token on the [endpoint for placing signatures](/english/documentos/opcional-posicionar-assinaturas.md)

**I've added attachment by mistake. Can i delete it?**\
No. For now, it's impossible to remove attachments after added. You can [delete de document](/english/documentos/excluir-documento.md) and [re-create it](/english/documentos/criar-documento.md).
