Following the release of the Signer Consent Request, this feature is now also supported for Qualified Electronic Signatures (QES). You can request Signer Consent via checkbox or copied text, and the consent decision will be recorded in the Signature Request audit trail after signing.

Only DOCX and PDF were previously supported as attachment formats in a Signature Request. To enhance flexibility, you can now upload PNG, JPEG, and JPG files as attachments.

Please note:

• These formats are for attachments only and cannot be signed.
• This feature is only available via API.

When uploading PNG, JPEG, or JPG files, you must specify the nature parameter to attachment in the following endpoints:

• Upload a document file (POST /signature_requests/{id}/documents/upload)
• Update a document (PATCH /signature_requests/{id}/documents/{document_id})

For more details, please refer to the guide section.

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.
