Available environments: Sandbox, Commercial | Available tiers of service: Acrobat Sign Solutions | Configuration scope: Enabled as part of the existing base feature
Review the updated Request Signature documentation >

Review the updated Send in Bulk documentation >

  • The process of saving a web form has more granular controls - The control for validating a web form's first signer has been separated from the control to enable the recipient's access to save a web form.

    • Administrators continue to have the option to reset the default environment to the classic experience through their admin menu.
    • Links remain available for users to switch between the new and classic environments. Accounts that have previously disabled switch links will need to do so again.

Available environments: Sandbox, Commercial | Available tiers of service: Individual, Team, Enterprise | Configuration scope: Account, Group

  • Improved expereience in the Request Signature environment for when a sender is the first signer or when prefill fields exist - When an agreement is sent, and the sender is the first signer, or prefill fields are present on the agreement, the signing environment opens immediately, allowing the sender to fill fields and sign without having to first access their email or Manage page.
    Available environments: Sandbox, Commercial | Available tiers of service: Individual, Team, Enterprise | Configuration scope: Enabled by default

  • Send in Bulk has updated the interface to display the Message field when the CSV upload option is selected - The Message section is no longer hidden when a user selects the option to upload a CSV file to generate the child agreements through the Send in Bulk process.
