Improved Functionality

  • Restart Agreement - Allow recipients to reset the agreement's signature cycle back to the first recipient. Any previously filled fields will remember the field values as the new default value but can be edited by the recipient they are assigned to.
    Available environments: Sandbox, Commercial, Government | Available tiers of service: Acrobat Sign Solutions | Configuration scope: Group, Account
    Review the document for the Restart agreement workflow option >
     
  • Share templates with multiple groups—Create one template and share it with one or more groups. Updating the template will propagate across all groups with which it has been shared.
    Available environments: Sandbox, Commercial, Government | Available tiers of service: Acrobat Sign Solutions | Configuration scope: Group, Account
    Review the controls to allow sharing a template with multiple groups >
     
  • Send in Bulk improvements:
    • Government ID authentication - Send in Bulk now supports Government ID as a recipient authentication method.
    • Delegator roles - The Delegator role has been added to the Send in Bulk list of roles when using a CSV file to add recipients.

Available environments: Sandbox, Commercial, Government | Available tiers of service: Acrobat Standard, Acrobat Pro, Acrobat Sign Solutions | Configuration scope: Group, Account
Review the new Send in Bulk documentation here >

  • Clear indication of undelivered emails and SMS contacts - A new icon on the Manage page clearly indicates if there has been an issue when delivering a notification to a recipient, allowing the sender to understand and correct the bad email or phone number to get the agreement back on track.
    Available environments: Sandbox, Commercial, Government | Available tiers of service: Acrobat Sign Solutions | Configuration scope: Not configurable
    Review the Manage page overview >

  • eWitnessing is supported in parallel and hybrid signature workflows - Agreements that require parallel or hybrid signature flows can now utilize the eWitness recipient role.
    Available environments: Sandbox, Commercial, Government | Available tiers of service: Acrobat Sign Solutions | Configuration scope: Group, Account

  • Power Automate - Template selection from within the Manage page - Using the Power Automate Set-up Notification or Archive Agreement actions on the Manage page open a menu of templates in the right context panel, making it easier to create flows from existing agreements.
    • This improvement was delivered to the production environment after the November 12th launch date on December 5th,

Available environments: Sandbox, Commercial | Available tiers of service: Acrobat Sign Solutions | Configuration scope: Group, Account
Review the new experience for the Power Automate actions on the Manage page >
 

  • Identity Check improvements - The Identity Check policy  has been improved to allow for name matching through the user interface (not just API) and to allow for partial name matching.
    Available environments: Sandbox, Commercial, Government | Available tiers of service: Acrobat Sign Solutions | Configuration scope: Group, Account
    Learn more about the Identity Check policy >

  • Data Exports for Web form-based agreements - The Data Export option now has an additional data export for web form usage that includes new filters to help manage the signature process of web forms exclusively.
    Available environments: Sandbox, Commercial | Available tiers of service: Acrobat Sign Solutions | Configuration scope: Available by default; Not configurable
    Learn about the new Web Form Data Exports >

  • Expanded options to notify CC'd parties - CC'd parties can be associated with specific recipients to ensure notification happens to the right CC'd party at each stage of the agreement signature process.
    Available environments: Sandbox, Commercial | Available tiers of service: Acrobat Sign Solutions | Configuration scope: Group, Account
    Learn more about recipient-related CC notifications >

  • Add the agreement name and transaction ID to the footer of every page of an agreement - Enable an option to affix the agreement's Name and Transaction ID to the bottom right of every page of the transaction.
    Available environments: Sandbox, Commercial, Government | Available tiers of service: Acrobat Sign Solutions | Configuration scope: Group, Account
    Review the option to add the transactionID and doc name to the agreement pages >

  • Authenticate the first signer of a web form using a digital identity - Configure web forms to authenticate the first signer using a digital identity when they initially access the web form's public link.
    Available environments: Sandbox, Commercial, Government | Available tiers of service: Acrobat Sign Solutions | Configuration scope: Group, Account
    Review the Create a Web Form documentation >

  • Mobile-friendly forms and agreements - Provide an additional view of agreements for mobile recipients that lists only the field within the agreement available to the recipient. Senders can arrange the field list as they like, and group fields into logical sections to help the signers move through the field input with a minimum of scrolling. Recipients have the option to view the mobile-friendly fields list or the original PDF view with the fields placed within the document content.
    Note: This feature is not deployed to the production environment with this release. Only the Sandbox will be enabled. General availability is expected in the February 2025 release.
    Available environments: Sandbox | Available tiers of service: Acrobat Sign Solutions | Configuration scope: Group, Account

Experience Changes

  • Users who have their authority to sign agreements removed can no longer use self-signing workflows - Users who have had their signature authority removed but who are still active users in the service can no longer sign a document using Fill & Sign and Self-signing workflows.
     
  • The Custom Workflow Designer has a label limit of 100 characters - The customizable label values in the Custom Workflow Designer (CWD) are now limited to 100 characters maximum. Pre-existing workflows will be impacted, triggering an error when the workflow is updated with an explicit error message indicating the problem, and outlining the offending label in red. The Workflow template must be updated in the CWD to ensure that labels don't exceed 100 characters before the template can be successfully updated. All new workflows will constrain the labels to 100 characters before they can be saved.
    Note that preexisting workflows that contain a label with more than 100 characters can still be sent without error.

Mobile application updates

Integrations

REST API/Webhook Updates

API and webhook updates for this release can be found in the Acrobat Sign API documentation.

  • Updated API interface - The API Swagger documentation has been updated to a new version (OAS 3.1) that changes the overall appearance of the page. The content remains the same.
  • New Webhook for when agreements are restarted - The Restart Agreement webhook AGREEMENT_RESTARTED has been added to support the event when a recipient restarts their agreement.
  • The POST /agreements/{agreementId}/deliverableAccess endpoint has changed the API Category to PUBLIC instead of EXTERNAL_PARTNER.
