Using existing data, the user can apply for renewal, with or without signing. Attention If you need approval to complete the renewal process, the renewal will only happen after an approving user confirms it. ## Renew a certificate To renew a certificate, see the following steps: 1. On **Segura™ Platform**, in the navigation bar, hover over the **Products menu** and select **Certificate Manager**. 2. In the side menu, select **Certificates > SSL/TLS**. 3. In the desired certificate, click **Actions > Renew certificate**. 4. In the **Generate the request and sign** field, select to generate the request and sign it. After selecting it, the application will save the renewal request, and open the [Add request](/v4-2/docs/certificate-manager-reference-requisition-form) form. For more information on how to create a request, see [How to create a request](/v4-2/docs/certificates-flow-how-to-requisitions). For manually imported certificates or found by **Discovery**, this option will only be available after the first renovation process. 5. In the **Just generate the request** field, select to just generate the request, and not sign it. After selecting it, the status of the certificate will be **Renewal requested** until the certificate is signed.
