Three new types of Fields are now supported for signatures completed through your custom-built signing flow—that is, without using Yousign's pre-made signature interface.

The new supported fields are:

• Mentions: add legal or informational mentions.
• Initials: allow signers to add their initials at specific locations on the document.
• Read-only text fields: display non-editable text within the document.

For setup instructions and more details, consult our guide on building your own signing flow.

Following the release of the feature allowing you to set or update a Document name when uploading or replacing a Document associated with a Signature Request, we have now updated it to support additional characters.

The name parameter must match the following naming pattern:/^(?!\s)[^\/\\]+(?<!\s)$/:

• Names cannot start or end with a space.
• Names can contain any character except / or \.

These rules help ensure consistent and valid Document names. For more details, please consult our guide on managing Documents.

A new locale ptis available for your audit trails in Portuguese.

You can now choose between en, fr, es, de,it or pt.

By default, en will be used (current behavior).

This option can be set when initiating a Signature Request with audit_trail_locale field.

You can now choose how your Custom Experience logo is displayed using the logo_layout parameter in the Create a Custom Experience and Update a Custom Experience endpoints.

Two layout modes are available:

• round: the logo will be framed inside a circle (default layout).
• original: the logo will be displayed in its original shape and ratio.

For more details on how to use the logo_layout parameter, check out our dedicated guide section.

✨ We have reorganized our Guides section to make it easier for you to find the information you need. The structure now features new categories for improved navigation and clarity.
In addition, we’ve reworked the following introduction pages to provide clearer and more detailed content:

• Introduction
• Set up your account
• Postman collection
• Stay updated with our Changelog
• Electronic Signature
• Hot to guide - Create your first Signature Request

This is just the beginning! We are committed to continuously improving our Guides, so stay tuned for further updates.

It's now possible to set or update a Document name when uploading or modifying a Document linked to a Signature Request:

• Document upload: A new optional parameter name is available in the endpoint POST /signature_requests/{signatureRequestId}/documents (see API reference).
• Document update: You can also rename an already uploaded Document using the name parameter in the endpoint PATCH /signature_requests/{signatureRequestId}/documents/{documentId} (see API reference).

For more details, please refer to our dedicated guide section.

You can now prevent signers from downloading documents before signing by using the download_documents_disabled parameter in Custom Experiences.

This parameter is available in:

• The Custom Experience creation and update endpoints.
• The Custom Experience creation and update flows in the app. Learn more in our Help Center.

More details on creating Custom Experiences can be found in our guide section.

You can now require signers to manually copy a predefined text during the signing process, with Yousign automatically verifying the input. This ensures that the text matches your requirements without the need for manual review after signature.

This feature is available through the existing POST /consent_requests endpoint, which now supports a new type, text_to_copy.

For more details on how to configure the Text to copy feature, please visit our Guide.

When a Signature Request is created from the app with associated Labels, these Labels are now included in the response payload of relevant Signature Request endpoints, such as List Signature Requests.

Learn more about labels in this article.

This feature allows to automatically organize Signature Requests created from the app via API based on their labels.

For now, it is only possible to read labels via API. The ability to add labels to Signature Requests via API is not yet available, but we are currently working on this improvement.

This feature enables approvers and signers in a Signature Request to view a list of recipients and track their activity progress.

You can configure this setting in Custom Experiences using the parameter recipients_activity_disabled (default: true) in the following endpoints:
POST - Create a Custom Experience
PATCH - Update a Custom Experience

For additional details, please refer to our documentation.
