By associating agreements with user groups, admins can define and dictate the agreement-related properties such as available templates and workflows, branding, recipient roles, authentication methods, PDF security, and more for specific groups.
To learn how to enable Adobe Acrobat Sign Group Settings and send agreements from different user groups, see how to Create Agreement Templates for specific User Groups.

It includes a step-by-step wizard for creating rules for merging data from Salesforce object fields into a word document template. The generated document is sent as an attachment with the Acrobat Sign Agreement template and can be easily managed in Salesforce.

Previous releases
New OAuth Scope setting
A new OAuth Scope setting now allows Adobe Sign group-level admins to create a connection between Adobe Sign and Salesforce.
Deprecated support for identity verification via web identity
Adobe Sign users can no longer choose Web Identity or Social ID as the identity verification method. However, users can continue to verify signers' identities via password, phone, or knowledge-based authentication (KBA).
Rebranding of the Adobe Sign icon
The Adobe Sign icon used throughout the application has been updated to the new branding.
Update your Salesforce org to use Files as the default storage object for documents
Version 23 of the Adobe Sign for Salesforce package shifts the default object type for stored documents from the legacy Attachments object to the relatively new Files object.
This update reinforces the Salesforce Lightning experience, which only supports Files (the Salesforce classic experience doesn’t support Files) and aligns with many third-party solutions commonly paired with Adobe Sign who are upgrading in a like manner.
Impacted documents include:
- Agreement documents
- Data Mapping
- Agreement Templates
- Agreement Updates
- Large File Send
- Custom Settings
- Push Agreements
Currently the admin isn’t required to take any action on updating to this version, since the existing storage object is exempted in for the organization, ensuring that operations can continue with no disruption.
However, admins are encouraged to investigate how they can migrate their org to use Files before attachments are deprecated.
- UPDATING from an Adobe Sign for Salesforce version prior to 23.0 will honor the existing storage object after the update (attachments for most customers). No action is required to continue operating as normal.
- NEW installations of the Adobe Sign for Salesforce package will have Files set as the default storage object, but can manually switch to attachments.
- Controls are available to the Salesforce admin to switch the storage object between Files and Attachments.
New custom setting to control the document storage type
To support the admin control of the document storage type, a new control has been added to the Custom Settings > Adobe Sign Settings set of controls.
This user interface maps to the custom object Agreement_Document_Storage_Type__c
Viable setting values are:
- {empty} - If the value is empty, the default behavior is based on the install version of the package
- Version 23.0+ will default to Files as the default storage type
- Versions prior to 23.0 will default to Attachments as the default storage type
- Files - Strongly defines Files as the default storage object for Adobe Sign document
- Attachments - Strongly defines Attachments as the default storage object for Adobe Sign document
Analytics settings
An optional analytics setting has been added to allow Adobe Sign to collect usage data to improve the product. This data is used only for development and not for marketing purposes.
This setting can be controlled from the Adobe Sign Admin tab by clicking the Analytics Settings link in the right rail:
The analytics setting is enabled by default for most new customer installations:
- New customer installations in Canada and the European Union will have analytics disabled by default
- Upgrading customers will have the setting disabled by default to match their current experience. Admins can enable the setting at will on the Adobe Sign Admin tab
When enabled, a record is automatically added to your CSP Trusted Sites for the adobe.io site name:
Disabling the analytics settings automatically removes the adobe.io record from the CSP Trusted Sites page.

Supporting Salesforce "Files" as the storage object in File Mapping
The Winter 2019 Adobe Sign for Salesforce (v21) release updates three core elements to the package for new deployments, while maintaining backwards compatibility for existing customers:
- Updates for agreements are pulled from Salesforce (versus pushed from Adobe Sign)
- The Agreement Template page has been redesigned to improve clarity with a tabbed structure (versus the scrolling window)
Also, adjustments have been made to bring the Salesforce experience into better alignment with the Web experience. To this end,
When mapping file storage through the Data Mapping process, a new check box has been added to explicitly force the storage as an Attachment.
If this option isn’t selected, the content is stored as a File.
Improved Agreement update process
v21 changes the update process for agreements at Salesforce. Instead of pushing updates to Salesforce, Adobe Sign will notify Salesforce that updates are available, and then Salesforce can pull them in. This helps alleviate issues where Salesforce is offline at the time Adobe Sign pushed the update.
Also, agreements now update asynchronously, where all previous version were synchronous.
New custom setting Section: Adobe Sign Agreement Update settings
To support the new update process, a new section has been added to the Custom Settings section at Salesforce: Adobe Sign Agreement Update Settings.
Five previously existing settings have been relocated to this category from the Adobe Sign Settings section:
Adobe Sign Settings |
Adobe Sign Agreement Update Settings |
Add Audit PDF to Attachment List |
Add Audit Report |
Add Signed PDF Link for Pushed Agreement |
Add Signed PDF URL |
Add Signed PDF for Pushed Agreements |
Add Signed PDF |
Add Signed PDF as Separate Attachments |
Add Signed PDF as Separate Attachments |
Add Supporting Files to Attachment List |
Add Supporting Files |
Three new settings are being added:
- Show Images – When enabled, images of the agreement PDF are displayed on the agreement page
- Update Agreement Events – When enabled, Salesforce will update the events for agreements when notified by Adobe Sign
- Update Agreement Status – When enabled, Salesforce will actively update agreement statuses when notified by Adobe Sign
Manually updating an agreement now updates all elements of an agreement (recipients, events, Images, and so on) instead of just the status.
Renamed Custom Setting Section: Adobe Sign Push Mapping Settings is now Adobe Sign Agreement Recipient Settings
The Push Map Settings have been re-worked to apply broadly to all Agreements, so the custom settings section that governed these settings has been renamed to better reflect that they apply to the recipients of all agreements, and not Push agreements.
Additionally, five new settings have been added to expand the ability to update the recipients related to agreements:
- Create Missing Recipients (enabled by default) - Enable this setting to create missing recipients
- New recipients get created in the case of Agreement Push Mapping, Replace Signer, or Delegate Signer workflow
- Enable Participation Sets - Enable this setting to create and update Participation Sets
- Update Delegated Recipients (enabled by default) - Enable this setting to mark the recipients as Delegated when they are delegated by the Signer or Sender
- These recipients are hidden from the Agreement View page
- Update Recipients (enabled by default) - Enable this setting to update existing recipients attributes such as Status
- Update Replaced Recipients (enabled by default) - Enable this setting to mark the recipients as Replaced when they are replaced by the Sender from the Manage page
- These recipients are hidden from the Agreement View page
Improved Manual Update
The manual update process has been improved to update the entire suite of Agreement objects, including all links, images, events, status, and data mappings.
Updated Event descriptions
The event descriptions for agreements are being updated with three changes:
- The generic term “Document” is being used instead of the agreement’s name
- The email address of the user is being inserted after the name value
- The IP address is being included
New authentication method: Government ID
The new Government ID authentication method has been added as a custom option in the Adobe Sign Settings section.
Government ID is a premium identity authentication method that must be enabled by your success manager before it can be deployed.
Drag-and-drop support for adding files
(Lightning only)
The Lightning experience now allows you at add documents to your new Agreements by dragging them from your local system and dropping them in the Files area.
Documents added via drag-and-drop are uploaded to your personal Files in Salesforce.
New Agreement Template format
The Agreement Template interface has been updated to provide improved clarity of the template content in five tabs.
Simple Sign
Simple Sign is an easy out of the box component to allow community portal users to sign self-service agreements. Add this component to any Salesforce Community Cloud portal (customer, partner, employee, and so on), or embed the component into other Lightning components.
Adobe Sign for Salesforce CPQ:
"Generate Adobe Sign" button
The Adobe Sign CPQ component has been improved to streamline the process of attaching the Quote PDF to the Agreement in one button click using the Generate Adobe Sign button or LEX component.
Resolved Issues
Overview
The Summer 2018 Salesforce (v20) release expands the functionality within the Lightning experience, and enables several new high-demand features that customers have been asking for.
In version 20 of Adobe Sign for Salesforce we further aligned with the Lightning experience to optimize overall performance.
Part of the optimization is moving the agreement list to a Lightning component. Previous versions used a Visualforce page with an embedded “Lightning Out” component. A result of this move is when launching a new agreement from a related list on a standard object (Contact, Opportunity, Account, Contract, etc.) it will not automatically associate the agreement to the object. This is due to Salesforce lack of support for the "Ikid" parameter being passed directly into a Lightning component.
This limitation is only observed when using the Lightning page layouts. Using the Advanced page layout continues to enable this functionality.
Support for the Salesforce Process Builder
Actions have been added to support the Salesforce Process Builder.
Admins can create processes that can trigger Agreement creation from a template, as well as Send, Remind, Update, Cancel and Delete actions.
Expanded Roles for recipients
Three new roles, with the accompanying delegator roles for each, have been added! Now you can create signature flows that include Acceptor, Form Filler, and Certified Recipients, as types of participants.
Improved Sandbox support
On 3/16/2019, Salesforce will automatically enable a critical update that will strip the URL of the shard identification.
Prior to v20, the URL was used to parse out the shard information, and instruct Adobe Sign as to the nature of the SFDC instance that was attempting to communicate (Production or Sandbox).
After 3/16/2019, customers on v19 or older will need to contact Support to flag their Sandbox environments, allowing the OAuth process to connect.
Customers that have v20+ installed will gracefully navigate the OAuth process, without having to involve Adobe Sign support.
Recipients related to each event they trigger
The Agreement Event object now relates the events with the recipient that triggered the event, allowing for a detailed understanding of the step by step signature process as it relates to the recipients.
Recipient IP address field added
The Agreement Event object has had a new field added: Acting User IP Address
This new field imports the IP address for any event logged against the agreement, and relates it to the user that triggered the event.
Reports can be generated to expose the IP information
Fetch and Update Legacy Document Keys
Accounts that are still using Adobe Sign for Salesforce v13 or older can now upgrade to a modern version of the package, and update the respective document keys for their existing agreements.
v20.8 (Incremental Patch)
Field API Names added to the select list for Data/Merge Mapping
A new setting has been added to expose the API name of a field when defining data or merge mapping.
To enable this feature:
- Navigate to Setup > Platform Tools > Custom Code > Custom Settings
- This loads the Custom Settings page
- Click the label Adobe Sign Settings
- The Adobe Sign Settings page will load
3. Click the Manage button
4. Click New (or Edit, if you have configured settings before)
• The Adobe Sign Settings page will load
5. Use your “Find” function (cmd/ctrl + f) to locate Show File API Name
6. Click Save

v20.9 (Security Patch)
Customers that are upgrading and have large files or push agreements configured should carefully review the upgrade process before installing the new package:
Upgrade process for large file service
Upgrade process for push agreements
Callback User to replace the Callback Site Profile
Due to security concerns around granting broad object access to a Salesforce callback site, v20.9 introduces a new user-based authentication process which helps ensure superior control over access to agreement objects.
Callback sites have traditionally been used for customers that enable large file service and push agreements. All customers that have one or both of these features enabled are strongly advised to upgrade to v20.9, enable the new Callback User feature, and remove all permissions from the Site user.
The Callback User is enabled through a new control on the Adobe Sign Admin page, just under the Adobe Account link.
v20.11 (Incremental Patch)
Issue 621/14678 overcomes a previous limitation of the Lightning environment that prevented the automatic relationship between an agreement and the parent SFDC object that launched the agreement.

The Winter 2018 Salesforce (v19) release expands the functionality within the Lightning experience, and enables several new high-demand features that customers have been asking for.
Batch actions from the Lightning pages
The ability to Create, Send, Remind, Cancel, Delete, and Update agreements in bulk is now available to the Lightning interface, with an improved process that summarizes the action being taken, before the final execution of the action.
New Permission Sets to speed user enablement
Admins that install the Adobe Sign for Salesforce application, but can't opt for the "All Users" option, were faced with a significant manual process to make objects and fields accessible to individual users.
But no more! With the addition of three new permission sets, Admins can quickly apply all of the permissions to individual users without having to step through each field for each object.
The three options are:
- Adobe Sign User - Minimum required permissions for an Adobe Sign for Salesforce sender user. Includes limited access to the required components included in the managed package: objects, fields, tab, classes and pages.
- Adobe Sign Admin - Minimum required permissions for an Adobe Sign for Salesforce administrator user. Includes full access to all of the components included in the managed package: objects, fields, tab, classes and pages.
- Adobe Sign Integration User - All required permissions for an Adobe Sign for Salesforce integration user. Includes all admin access as well as access to all org data.
Superior Written Signature workflow
Get the accuracy and auditability of electronic signing with handwritten signatures. Let signers fill, print, sign, scan, and return documents without a fax machine. Everything is captured and managed electronically, so you’ll get legible text plus signer verification data in the audit trail.
The Written Signature workflow replaces the antiquated Fax process, and produces a much more consistent and professional result. Check here for more details.
Email components for Outlook and Gmail
The Adobe Sign for Salesforce Email component will function on the Microsoft Outlook Web App (OWA), Outlook 2016, Outlook for Mac 2016, or Outlook 2013. This same component package also works for the Gmail for Work integration.
The email component is a separate installation, but only takes a few minutes to install and configure.
Improved reflowable Send page for multiple screen sizes
Smaller screen devices are becoming more and more common for regular business actions, and left-right scrolling is painful when you want to get something done efficiently. To help those users that love their tablets, the Send page has been refactored to be flowable into a much wider range of screen widths, without losing any functionality.
Integration component for Salesforce CPQ
Speed your delivery of CPQ quotes directly from Salesforce to your customer's email box, ready to sign using the Adobe Sign CPQ connector component.
Salesforce Community Cloud Portal (Self-Signing) support
Community portals can now include an Adobe Sign component that provides agreements ready to be signed by portal users.
Salesforce Admins have the ability to publish agreements, establish a deadline date, and define a renewal cycle as needed.
Users can access the community site, generate a new agreement, and sign it right from the portal.
v19.4 - Released January 2018
Update Legacy Document keys if upgrading from a version older than v14
When the Adobe Sign application for Salesforce is upgraded from versions lower than v14 to the current build, users might not be able to perform actions such as Delete, Cancel, View, Remind, or Update on the existing agreements that were sent by other users before upgrade.
Users may prompt an error when one of these actions is executed, similar to:
“INVALID_DOCUMENT_KEY” or “An internal server error has occurred”
This happens due to a legacy document key style that was used in versions of the application before version 14.
A one-time migration of those legacy keys is required. To this end, a new affordance as described below:
After completing the set-up steps, the following links will be available on the Adobe Sign Admin page:
- Fetch Missing Document Keys – Clicking this link will perform a batch action for fetching missing document keys for existing agreements
- Update Legacy Document Keys - Clicking this link will flush out the existing legacy document keys and fetch the new document keys for all the agreements existing in the org.
In case there are any agreements that don’t have associated document keys, it will fetch document keys for them as well
Once the agreements have new document keys, users will be able to perform all agreement actions on existing agreements sent by other users.
The links for Fetch Missing Document keys and Update Legacy Document keys are only visible when the admin upgrades from a version lower than v14 to v19.4.
If the admin updates a package between v14 and v19.2, the links are hidden by default. In this case, the admin can contact Adobe Sign Support to manually expose the links.
This action requires that you grant log in access to Adobe Sign Support.

The Spring 2016 Salesforce (v18) release introduces the Lightning experience, and the newest update to the Adobe Sign for Salesforce package is "Lightning Ready". Enabling the Lightning experience is completely up to you, and you can switch back to Salesforce Classic at any time.
In Lightning, the navigation menu on the left provides quick access to your Salesforce objects. You can use the App Launcher to access the Adobe Sign integration package.
See Find Your Stuff in Lightning Experience in the Salesforce Help for more information.
Lightning Experience
Enabling the Lightning Experience is easy:
- From Setup
- Click Lightning Experience in the left navigation menu to change the default settings before you switch the view.
- Select Switch to Lightning Experience from your profile menu, to change to the Lightning view.
See Enable Lightning Experience in the Salesforce Help for more information.
Switching back to Salesforce Classic
If you are working in the Lightning Experience, switching back to Salesforce Classic is also easy. Simply click your profile picture in the upper right corner, and select Switch to Salesforce Classic from the menu.
Accessing the Adobe Sign integration application
Once Lightning is enabled, you can click the App Launcher to display the available apps, then click Adobe Sign.
See Opening a Different App in Lightning Experience in the Salesforce Help for more information.
The menu for Adobe Sign displays. From this menu you can access all the familiar Adobe Sign pages and features. Note that the Manage Agreements and Adobe Sign Admin pages are currently only available in Salesforce Classic.
In the Lightning Experience, the Adobe Sign pages have a new, cleaner look.
Enhanced Agreement page
The enhanced Agreements page can be used in both Salesforce Classic and Lightning. Before using this new Agreement page, you must enable the enhanced Agreement page style.
Enhanced Agreement Layout experience:
The enhanced Agreement page layout provides senders with all of the functionality of the previous layout plus additional features. The enhanced agreement page is available in both Salesforce Classic and Lightning.
To get to the enhanced agreement page, choose ‘Agreements’from the ITEMS menu on the lightning page or the left navigation menu on the Classic page.
1. Recipients are numbered now as shown above. You can use recipient numbering to reorder recipients to create sequential routings and to create hybrid and parallel routings.
2. Sender can now quickly add themselves as a recipient anywhere in the routing, not just first or last, using Add Me and numbering.
3. Groups can be specified as recipients.
4. Private message can be added. Clicking the message bubble icon displays the Add a Private Message dialog. The bubble will appear slightly gray if you have a message.
5. Identity Verification
6. Select a related Contract
7. Select files from your document library or online storage accounts—You can now click Add Files to access the Select Files dialog and all the file sources that are enabled.
New recipient role: Delegator
In addition to Approver and Signer, admins and senders can now add Delegator to the recipient workflows. Delegators receive the agreement, but are not expected to sign. Instead they will route the agreement to the approver or signer they choose.
Great for situations where the signer/approver isn’t known until the signature process is underway, these two new roles will give you the flexibility to start gathering signatures immediately, and identify the proper downstream recipients at a later time.
Private messages
You can create unique messages for each recipient in the signing process before sending a document for signature or approval. To add a message, click the Add a private message icon.
Recipients can easily read the private message during the signing experience. When someone has left a message for one of the recipients, the color of the message bubble will be light gray.
Hybrid routing
In addition to being able to create sequential and parallel recipient routing, you can use the new recipient ordering feature to create hybrid routing that includes parallel and sequential components using the new Send page. You can specify which participants need to sign at the same time (in parallel) and which need to sign in sequential order by dragging and dropping or using numbering order to define the signing sequence.
Creating hybrid routing:
1. Enter the email addresses of the recipients.
2. To designate two recipients to sign second—in this example severtonea@gmail.com and kmaggerstein@gmail.com—enter a “2” in the routing order field for both.
When you save the agreement, the email addresses for severtonea@gmail.com and kmaggerstein@gmail.com display as parallel recipients in the second position. Note that the order of subsequent recipients will update to reflect the new routing order.
Recipient Group
You can speed up the signing processes by giving multiple team members the authority to sign on behalf of the entire group. Add a recipient group first, and then add multiple recipients to the group. Any one of the recipients listed can sign on behalf of the entire group. Recipient groups integrate with Salesforce groups.
Modifying Agreements
You can make on-the-fly document corrections using the new modify agreements feature instead of canceling agreements and starting over. You can use Modify Agreements to add, delete, replace (delete then add), and reorder documents. You can also use the authoring environment to modify fields.
The modify agreements feature is available only on the new Send page. However, it can be used to modify agreements that were initiated before the November 2015 release as long as the transaction meets the “modifiable” criteria. If a document is modifiable, a Modify Agreement link displays on the Manage Agreements page when the document is selected. A modifiable agreement is one that meets the following criteria:
- The agreement has not been signed, approved, or delegated to a signer or approver by the delegator to whom it was assigned.
- The agreement does not include a digital signature or fax signature.
- The agreement has not been initiated from a workflow.
Administration for modify agreements
The modify agreements feature must be turned on globally for your organization, and then the last check box, Allow senders to modify agreements after they have been sent for signature, will appear in the Account | Send Settings options for each user.
Account administrators and group administrators can specify whether you can modify documents that you have sent for signatures by checking the “Allow senders to modify agreements that have been sent for signature” in the Attaching Documents section of the Send Settings parameters in your Account.
Modifying an agreement
If the modify agreements setting is enabled for your organization or group, you can modify agreements that are in the Out for Signature or Out for Approval sections. (See Modify agreements for more information.)
1. Click the Manage Agreements tab.
2. Click to select a modifiable agreement from the Out for Signature or Out for Approval section, then click the agreement description in the upper-right corner.
The Send page displays in limited editing mode and you cannot make changes in the Recipients or Message sections.
In this Send page, you can add, delete, replace (delete then add), and reorder documents.
To add a document, do one of the following:
- Click Add Files.
- Or, drag-and-drop files from your computer to the Drag More Files Here area.
- To delete a document, click the delete icon (X) to the right.
- To recorder documents, click the grab bar and drag the document to its new position.
Depending on your Send settings, you may be able to use the Preview & Add Signature Fields option to add form fields to the document or documents in the modified agreement.
When you modify an agreement, the form fields that were originally added by the sender to documents using the authoring environment are discarded. Form fields that were added to library documents when they were created and form fields added to documents with text tags are automatically reprocessed.
- If you do not need to add form fields or do not have the Preview & Add Signature Fields option, then click Update to save your changes.
- If you need to add form fields, enable the Preview & Add Signature Fields option if necessary, then click Update to open the authoring environment. When done in the authoring environment, click Update.
If the agreement has already been signed, when the sender clicks Update the sender gets a message indicating that the recipient has signed, approved, or delegated it.
If the Modify Agreements feature has not been turned on globally for your organization, there are still a few ways that you can make modifications after an agreement has been sent for signatures.
If you scroll down to the bottom of the agreement description, you will see three ways that you can modify an agreement.
The actions you can perform on an existing agreement include replacing a signer, uploading a signed copy, and adding an expiration date.
To replace the current signer, enter the new signer’s email address and the reason that you are replacing the original signer. For example, the original signer might be out-of-the-office during the time you need to have the documents signed. Click the Replace Signer button when you’re finished.
To upload a signed copy, click the Replace Signer link in the agreement description. Type the email address of the new signer and a short message about the reason for replacing the original signer. Note that until the new signer adds their signature, the original signer can still sign the document.
To add an expiration date, click the Add link in the agreement description. Then click the calendar icon to select the expiration date. Select the Notify Current Recipients check box, if you want the recipients to get notified.
Signing, approving, or delegating a modified agreement
The recipient of a modified agreement is notified that the agreement has changed before they can sign, approve, or delegate it.
The recipient can click OK to continue. The signing, approving, or delegating process proceeds as usual.
However, if the agreement has just been modified while the recipient is on the eSign page, the recipient is informed and must click Refresh to continue.
Viewing the history and audit trail of a modified agreement
Information on the events specific to the modification of a document (e.g., Agreement was modified, Agreement modification was acknowledged) can be viewed from the Manage Agreements page.
1. Click the Manage Agreements tab.
2. Single click an agreement to select it, then click the History tab on the right side of the page.
The event history for the agreement displays in the information panel. The transactions related to the modification by the sender and the recipient’s acknowledgement of the modification are noted.
3. Click the Audit Report link in the upper-right corner of the History frame to open a PDF Audit Report. The transactions related to the modification by the sender and the recipient’s acknowledgement of the modification are noted.
Multiple templates per Salesforce object
For customers who are using Salesforce Lightning, our v18 integration will enable admins to configure having more than one template available for any SFDC object. This is new flexibility for users and admins, enabling them to select the correct template to start the send process. For example, now a user can send an MSA or Partner agreement from an SFDC Account object; both could be available if needed, through Lightning components.
Support for Salesforce Lightning Components
For Administrators using the Lightning experience, there is a new and extremely easy way to add Adobe Sign into standard and custom SFDC pages. We offer three components to allow the Admins flexibility in building the pages as they see fit.: Adobe Sign Send and Agreement component and an Adobe Sign agreement list
Enhanced Adobe Sign Admin page
The Admin Page has a new cleaner look and all functionality is now on a single page. The tabs have been eliminated. Switch to the Lightning Experience to use the new Adobe Sign Admin Page.
Improved Setup Wizard
Use the improved Setup Wizard to link your Adobe Sign account to your Salesforce account. The Setup Wizard is available from both the Classic and Lightning user interfaces. If your accounts are not already linked, you will see the Setup Wizard when you choose Adobe Sign from within Salesforce.
You will receive a Success! message when the wizard has linked your account to enable automatic status updates.
Dynamic product list creation
You can now automatically add your product lists to an agreement for signature. The merge mappings have been expanded to include all products tied to an opportunity. You can set which product attributes (like quantity and price) are included in your agreements as well as sort and filter the associated products.
Only I Sign
Your team can now sign any given document with "Only I Sign.” To do so, the sender can select the Sender Signs Only option on the Send Agreement page. The sender can then upload the document, drag and drop any required form fields onto it, and sign it. The document can be sent to the sender and any additional recipients specified. A record of this process is automatically generated in Salesforce, and a copy of the document is stored there as well. The Sender Signs Only option appears if the Enable Sender Signs Only setting is enabled, and it can be set to read-only using the Read Only Sender Signs Only setting.
Custom landing pages post-signing
You can now auto-redirect the signers of an agreement to a specified URL after they sign. For example, you can redirect signers to your company website or a survey page. Also specify how many seconds elapse before executing the redirect. The option to enter a redirect URL and specify the number of seconds is available on the Send Agreement page when the Enable Post Sign Options setting is enabled, and it can be set to read-only using the Read Only Post Sign Options setting.
Support for larger file sizes
Previously, additional setup steps were required to send transactions that included large files. Now you can send larger transactions as follows:
- Manual Workflow—When clicking the Send for Signature button on the Agreements page, you can send a transaction that is up to 4MB, including multiple documents whose summed size is up to 4MB.
- Background Actions—When sending a document using background actions, a single document up to 9MB or multiple documents whose summed size is up to 9MB can be sent.
Note: Transactions larger than the noted sizes are supported with additional setup.
E-sign alerts within Salesforce
Your team members can now be alerted from within Salesforce when an agreement they’ve sent is about to expire. This option is controlled using the Create Sign Deadline Reminder Event and the Days Sign Deadline Reminder Event. The sender sees a pop- up alert in Salesforce and can then take action by contacting the signer and possibly extending the deadline.
Digital signatures
You can send an agreement out for a digital signature. Digital signatures are preferable to electronic signatures in certain regions (such as the EU) and industries (such as pharmaceutical). The digital signatures feature is currently in beta. Contact Adobe Support if you would like to use digital signatures before November 2015, when it will become generally available.
Simplified Setup Wizard
The new Setup Wizard makes it easier than ever to configure Salesforce after installation. Now you simply need to select the acknowledge option to allow Adobe Document Cloud eSign services to add a trusted remote site for your organization.
Admin control: Hide custom sidebar
If a custom sidebar has been added to the Agreement Editor page—accessed using the View Agreement button—you can now hide this sidebar by enabling the Hide Sidebar for Agreement Editor Page setting.
Admin Control: Auto-provisioning
In previous releases, users were automatically provisioned when they sent or managed agreements. Now you have the option to eliminate auto-provisioning using the Disable User Provisioning setting. Note that this setting does not control the auto- provisioning that occurs when Update Agreement is clicked from the Agreement list
Push releases
With v17, periodic patch updates can now be automatically pushed to your organization, eliminating the extra steps of downloading and installing a new package for dot releases.
Show Me How in-product tutorials
Using a new feature called “Show Me How,” team members can watch easy-to-follow tutorials covering the topics that typically lead to the most confusion.
Service Cloud/Console frames
Adobe Document Cloud eSign services can now be viewed as a frame within the Console view. This eliminates pop-up windows when using Service Cloud or Sales Cloud.
