# Known limitations for multiple files

There are a few limitations for multiple files in one signature request. Consult the list below before sending your first signature request.

* **Shield restrictions.** If your files have more than one restriction, the most restrictive policy is used.
  * For example: your Box file has a Print & Download restriction, while your destination folder has a No Box Sign restriction. You won't be able to upload a local file, as the No Box Sign and Watermarking policies don't allow for use of Box Sign for local files.
* **A file must remain in the request.** You can't delete a file if it's the only file in the request. To delete the file, you will need to upload another file to the request.
* **No local files for replace.** You can't replace files with a local file. To use the file, upload it to Box first.
* **Template sharing.** To share a signature request with multiple files as a template, you need to share all files in the package first. To use the template, the user needs to have the minimum **Viewer** permissions enabled. If they need to rename or delete files, they should be granted **Editor** access. For more information on permissions, see [Understanding Collaborator Permission Levels](https://docs.box.com/en/box-fundamentals/for-users/collaborating/collaborating-by-inviting-others/understanding-collaborator-permission-levels.md).
* **Box Sign Report and User Activity** are currently not supported. Events will be stored and backfilled. You can pull events from [Streaming API](https://developer.box.com/guides/events/) with **stream\_type**: **admin\_log**.
* **Lock on fields, but not files.** If you replace a file with fewer pages, the fields are automatically placed on the last page. As a result, field placement will need to be re-adjusted accordingly. If the fields are locked, the template user won't be able to move or add new fields to any newly added or replaced files.

> To work with signature requests quickly and smoothly, especially for mobile users, we recommend keeping the total size of all files less than 25 MB.
