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

Improved signer experience for the mobile web interface—Users of the mobile applications will have a new experience that better highlights the recipients' elements within the agreement. This environment is enabled through the same admin control that enables the new recipient experience for the desktop

Integrations

Support for Digital Identity Gateway (DIG) in the Acrobat Sign for Salesforce integration.

Include additional recipients from SAP. Record "Declined" status into Acrobat Sign for SAP SuccessFactors.

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.
