Adobe Acrobat Sign release schedule and prerelease documentation

Adobe Acrobat Sign rolls out at least three updates per year, categorized as major or minor releases. Additional minor updates may be introduced as needed to address system or customer issues.

Major Releases bring significant updates, new features, and multiple enhancements.
Minor Releases focus on smaller improvements and user experience tweaks. These occur between major updates, typically one to two times per cycle.

To prevent disruptions, new features are disabled by default and must be manually enabled by an account or group admin.

For Health and Life Sciences customers requiring compliance validation, Acrobat Sign partners with a third-party vendor to provide a validation package for every major release containing features to minimize your risk factor.

Lưu ý:

This Prerelease Notes page is regularly updated as new information becomes available, so its content is relatively dynamic.

While this page is localized, the process takes time, which may result in localized versions differing slightly from the authoritative US English version.

For the most accurate and up-to-date information, we recommend referring only to the US English page.

The prerelease schedule and notes are listed below.

Adobe Acrobat Sign follows a structured schedule for publishing release notes and documentation updates:

6-8 Weeks Before Production Release
- A summary of expected features and updates is published on the prerelease page, typically four weeks before the Sandbox launch.
- Any features added or removed after this point are noted in the Errata section.
- Resolved issues are not included at this stage.
2-4 Weeks Before Production Release (Sandbox Launch)
- The prerelease page is updated with detailed documentation on new and updated features.
- Links to prerelease support documentation, available in US English only, are added as needed.
- The initial Resolved Issues section is published, though updates will continue over the next four weeks.
Launch Day
- The official release notes are updated with final feature details and links to production support documentation.
- The prerelease page is refreshed to highlight the next release cycle.
- Documentation is published after release verification in the live system, typically after 7 pm PT, though complex updates may take longer.
- The final list of Resolved Issues is added to the US English release notes, with localized versions updated later.

Government Cloud Release
- The Government Cloud environment typically updates between two days and several weeks after the production release, as some features may require additional evaluation before deployment.

Lưu ý:

Sandbox documentation is designed for the production environment. Links found in the prerelease content target production URLs, meaning those links may lead to older existing documentation or 404 results if the target page is new and hasn't been published yet (e.g., when the link is pointing to a new feature in the same release).

When the release is published, the new pages will also be published, and links will properly resolve to their production URLs.

Sandbox availability

Customers accessing the Acrobat Sign Sandbox environment can typically access the new release functionality four weeks before launch.

The Sandbox environment must pass all production quality assurance procedures at the same quality level as the regular production environment.
Adobe strives to have 99.9% availability in the Sandbox environment, but customers should note that the Adobe Unified SLA does not formally cover the Sandbox.
The Sandbox environment uses the same status page and outage procedures as the regular Production environment.

Experience Changes

Agreement expiration may be delayed up to 12 hours - Starting with this release, the automatic expiration of an agreement will take place during non-peak hours for the environment that is managing the agreement.

Release errata - Elements removed

Below are the line items that previously were announced as part of this release, but have since slipped to a later release date.

Recipient Agreement Access - Senders have the option to configure a recipient's settings and flag the recipient as "Private". When enabled, this option treats the recipient as if they do not have a registered userID and tracks the recipient's activities using a "single-use recipient" (just like any recipient without a registered Acrobat Sign user). In effect, this means that the agreement is not published to the user's Manage page (because it's not linked to the recipient's registered UserID). This is ideal for accounts or groups that send private internal agreements that should not be on the Manage page if the user (or the group the user is in) is shared with some other user or group. Offer letters for example.

Send in Bulk: Bulk download - Download all of the child agreements related to a parent Send in Bulk template with one action.
