# Sign a scheduled transaction

A `ScheduleSignTransaction` is a consensus node transaction that adds signatures to a scheduled transaction. When this transaction is successful:

* The signature is added to the scheduled transaction
* A record of the transaction is created

To view the signatures that have been added to a scheduled transaction, you can use a [`ScheduleInfoQuery`](/native/scheduled/get-info) to query the network. Once the scheduled transaction has received all the required signatures, it will execute immediately, unless it has been configured to execute at a specified expiration time.

**Transaction Signing Requirements**

* The signature of the account paying for the transaction fees
* The signature being applied to the scheduled transaction

**Transaction Properties**

| Field           | Description                                                    |
| --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Schedule ID** | The ID of the schedule transaction to submit the signature for |
