# Remove Form Fields When Sending from Template

When you no longer need a specific form field in a document while sending it from a template, BoldSign allows you to remove it via the API. To remove a field using the BoldSign API, you will need the `Id` of the field you wish to remove. You can retrieve the ID of the form field by using the Properties API. For more information, refer to the [Properties](https://developers.boldsign.com/documents/document-details-and-status/?region=us) API documentation.

Once you have the Id of the form field, you can use the `RemoveFormFields` property to remove the form fields based on the ID.

Below are examples of how to remove an existing form field when sending a document from a template:
