About this seal
SUPERSEDED marks a document replaced by a newer revision, noting which one. It is how construction sites and quality systems stop people working from old drawings: the superseded set is kept for the record but clearly taken out of use.
Common uses
- Old drawing revisions on site
- Replaced procedures and work instructions
- Earlier contract drafts kept on file
- Outdated specifications
How to create it
- Open the template — the red rectangular box stamp reading “SUPERSEDED” is pre-applied.
- Edit the fill-in lines under the word, or type the date, initials or reference before exporting.
- Change the colour if your office uses a different convention — red is the usual choice for this stamp.
- Download a transparent PNG (or SVG with Pro).
- Place it on a PDF or Word file with the document stamp tools, or print it on labels.
Frequently asked questions
SUPERSEDED or OBSOLETE?
SUPERSEDED means replaced by a newer version; OBSOLETE means withdrawn with no replacement. Many quality systems use both.
Why keep superseded documents at all?
They explain how a design or procedure evolved, which matters in disputes and audits. The stamp keeps them from being used by mistake.
Legal & usage
An office stamp is a status marking, not a signature, certification or official classification. Use it on documents you are entitled to annotate, and do not use it to misrepresent a document's status to others.
