Feature log & updates
What we've shipped, improved, and fixed — newest first. We add to this log with every release.
June 12, 2026
Security hardening, encryption self-test, and signing reliability
- New admin Encryption & Compliance self-test (Admin → Encryption): one button verifies, on demand, that encryption round-trips and rejects every tampered/wrong-key case, that the audit logs cannot be altered or deleted, and that stored regulated data holds only ciphertext. Run it anytime — it writes nothing.
- Signers can now recover an expired signing request: an owner’s “Remind” re-opens a request whose link lapsed (fresh link, new window) instead of dead-ending — so a multi-step signing order can no longer get permanently stuck.
- Signed-copy delivery: every signer is emailed a link to view or download their completed document (with the certificate of completion) for 7 days; owners can re-send a fresh link anytime with “Resend signed copy.”
- Broad reliability & security hardening across billing, e-signature, encryption, and access controls — including stronger protection against duplicate/double-charged actions, spreadsheet-export safety, and consistent enforcement of team and regulated-data permissions.
June 11, 2026
E-signature legality & evidence
- New Certificate of Completion: download a per-envelope PDF summarizing the signing evidence — signer consent and completion timestamps, the document’s SHA-256 fingerprint, and envelope status.
- Signing now records an explicit, timestamped consent to transact electronically on every signature (the consent statement itself was already recorded verbatim).
- New e-signature legality page mapping each ESIGN/UETA element to the DocuBuilder feature that produces its evidence, with honest notes on excluded documents and eIDAS.
June 11, 2026
FERPA (education) tier
- Full FERPA compliance tier for student education records, mirroring the HIPAA tier: per-submission encryption sealed to each authorized viewer, reviewer access grants, a dedicated compliance audit log, and signing support.
- FERPA requires a Data Privacy Agreement (DPA) on file — accept it from Account → Security once an admin enables the tier.
- Available as a dedicated plan or à-la-carte packs (access unlock + form packs), priced at parity with HIPAA.
June 11, 2026
Session control, product explainers, and a refreshed front door
- New session timeout controls: sessions now sign out automatically after 15 minutes of inactivity by default. Admins manage the site-wide default, and every user can pick their own (5–25 minutes, or never) from Account → Security.
- New admin Modules panel: platform admins can switch entire modules (Forms, Pages, Menus, Sheets, DocuBuilder) on or off site-wide.
- New explainer pages for FormBuilder, DocuBuilder, and Encryption — including what the encryption tiers mean and which agreements (BAA / DPA) regulated data requires.
- The home, sign-in, sign-up, and password-reset pages were restyled to match the rest of the site.
- The footer now shows Log out when you are signed in (it previously always showed Sign in), and signed-in visitors to the sign-in page go straight to their dashboard.
- Fixed: logging out now fully clears the session cookie in all browsers.
- New About page and this updates log.
June 10, 2026
Security hardening round
- A site-wide security review hardened access controls across document signing, file uploads, team invitations, and admin tooling.
- Document signing links can no longer be used twice, and completed envelopes can no longer be voided or re-sent.
- Signup now has stronger rate limiting, and several internal endpoints return cleaner not-found responses.
- Stricter cookie policy (SameSite=Strict) for sessions, and team spreadsheets correctly follow team ownership.
- Fixed: the notifications inbox can now scroll when the list grows long.
June 7–8, 2026
Encryption tiers and compliance plumbing
- HIPAA-tier encryption suite: per-account keypairs, encrypted submissions readable only by authorized key-holders, and reviewer access grants without password sharing.
- FERPA (education) groundwork: Data Privacy Agreement acceptance flow mirroring the HIPAA BAA flow.
- Encryption audit log viewable from the dashboard.
- Export permissions now follow your plan entitlements consistently across CSV and bulk PDF.
June 5–6, 2026
Teams, two-factor, and sharing
- Team workspaces: shared items, sealed (encrypted) team content, member roles, and team lifecycle management.
- Two-factor authentication (TOTP) with backup codes; platform admins are required to enroll.
- Form sharing between accounts, with clean permission boundaries.
May 29 – June 1, 2026
Notifications, presence, and richer forms
- In-app notification center with team presence indicators and follow requests.
- Media display fields, menu list editor, and file uploads on public forms (with strict file-type validation).
- Dashboard auto-save improvements.
May 25–27, 2026
Signatures and multilingual forms
- Signature fields with required/optional slots, email-link signing, and document version integrity checks.
- Multilingual forms: per-field translations, automatic translation assistance, and a respondent language picker.
- Admin user management console.
