# Cancel a document request

Withdraws one document request — we are no longer waiting on this paper. No body; `id` is the request. Only an OPEN request can move, so cancelling one already fulfilled or cancelled is a not-found. It drops off `get_document-requests` afterwards. Reach for `post_document-requests_id_fulfil` instead when the file actually arrived.

Access class: `workspace`.
