A new option on Signature Requests is now available to allow Signers to decline a signature during the signing flow: signers_allowed_to_decline. This field is set to false by default.

To be able to use this feature, you will first have to activate it globally for your organization, within the application settings page.

With this new feature, we are introducing the new declined status for Signature Requests and Signers. You can listen to the declining event using the dedicated Webhooks: signature_request.declined and signer.declined. The payload of these Webhooks will contain the signer that declined, as well as their reason for declining.

It is now possible to re-order documents within a Signature Request in draft status.

If you add several documents to your Signature Request, you may want to choose which one is presented first to the Signer.

By default, documents will be presented by the upload date, from the oldest to the most recent.

It is also possible to override this rule by specifying after which document a specific document should be displayed. To do that, you need to use the field insert_after_id, available in our endpoint to upload or update a document.

The Advanced Electronic Seal is now available through the Yousign API!
It allows organizations (legal persons) to seal documents without requiring the actions linked to a signature process. It helps reduce the risk of fraud and proves document integrity.
In addition to simpler use cases, we advise using this seal level in particular for payslips and digitization of paper invoices or paper expense reports.

Please reach out to your customer representative to activate this product on your account.

A new option on Signature Requests is now available to define the locale of generated audit trails.

You can choose between en and fr. By default, en will be used (current behaviour).

A new email notification is available in your Custom Experience settings! You can now decide whether to send or not the email with the signature link to the Signers when you use the delivery mode email.
This option is helpful if you want to make your Signer signs face-to-face and let Yousign manages the notifications after completing the Signature.

It’s now possible to add Followers while the Signature Request status is draft.
Followers will receive an email when the Signature Request is activated or when it is created on a Signature Request that has already been sent.

It's now possible to override the delivery mode for one Signer.

Why? When you have several Signers, it is now possible to define different delivery modes for each signer. This way, one signer is able to sign face-to-face while the other Signer receives an email with the signature link sent by Yousign.

It is still requested to define the delivery mode at the Signature Request level.
The delivery mode set at the level of the Signature Request is applied for all Signers. If you want a different delivery mode for one or several signers, you can override it for the concerned signers and it will be applied for them.

When a Signature Request is activated or when a GET /Signer request is done, the Signature Link is included in the response payload. The Signature Link's expiration date is now included.
