# Change Threshold

At [Coinshift](https://coinshift.xyz/), the term **threshold** refers to the minimum number of signatures required from Safe Signers to authorise a transaction. The Safes, designed for multiple Signers, utilise multi-signature functionality for secure and transparent transactions.

When creating a Safe, it is essential to specify the Safe's Signers and establish its threshold. *The threshold is expressed as X out of Y Signers, meaning that X out of Y Signers must approve a transaction for execution.*

Safe Signers can adjust the threshold as needed.

Follow these steps to modify the threshold value:

## **Step 1: Accessing the change threshold** option

Navigate to the **Accounts** section. Select the desired Safe and expand it. Now, click on the ellipses, and the **Change Threshold** option will become visible (highlighted in red in the accompanying screenshot).

## **Step 2: M**odify the threshold and create proposal

To modify the threshold, open the drop-down menu and choose from the available options.

Click the **Create Proposal** button to generate a proposal for other Safe Signers to review and either approve or reject.

## **Step 3:** Action on Proposal

Signers can take one of three actions on a proposal:

* **Proposal Rejection-** If any Safe Signer rejects the proposal, it will be discarded Off-Chain.
* **Proposal Approval and Execution-** If the number of votes in favor of the proposal meets Safe's required threshold, the transaction will be carried out, resulting in an adjusted threshold accordingly.
* **On-Chain Transaction Rejection-** Even after a proposal has been approved, it can still be turned down in the on-chain stage. This can happen if a Safe Signer initially approves the proposal, moving it into the on-chain queue, but other Safe Signers decide to use the [**On-Chain Rejection**](https://docs.coinshift.xyz/business/coinshift-walkthrough/transaction-management/on-chain-transaction-rejection) option to stop the transaction.
