Text field cells

Enable the “Fit characters into individual boxes” parameter in a text field’s Additional Settings once it is placed on a document to:

Restrict a text field to a single line.

Set the maximum number of boxes (cells) with regard to the size of a text field and text formatting.

Disable alignment options for a specific text field.

Please note that cell settings will not be retained when the user places the next field or toggles between simple and fillable fields.

Contact Notes

Add and manage notes for each of your contacts in SignNow. Notes can be viewed by multiple users who share the same contact. However, to ensure the integrity of the notes, only the original creator can edit them.

Additionally, users can collaborate by mentioning others in a note. Doing so allows other users to receive email notifications about specific actions, requests, or inquiries. These email notifications keep every contributor in sync and up-to-date.

If a contributor doesn’t have a registered SignNow account, the note’s preview will be disabled in the notification email to maintain confidentiality.

Improved document navigation via the wizard (mobile web)

The button to proceed to the next field no longer overlaps with the on-screen keyboard on mobile devices.

Improved field placement (desktop and tablets only)

When opening a document in the editor, none of the fillable field options from the left-hand menu are pre-selected. This means that clicking on the page won't automatically place a field.

Once you select a fillable field from the sidebar, a transparent replica (or "ghost") of the field will appear and follow your cursor. This allows you to see exactly which field you've selected. To place the field, simply click anywhere on the page.

If you wish to cancel your field selection, press the ESC key. This will cause the field ghost to disappear.

Improved signature auto-fill prompts

Enhanced UI prompts will appear when auto-filling signature fields.

If a user hasn’t saved a signature and clicks on a signature field in a document, a prompt for creating a signature will appear

The ‘Undo’ action (or Ctrl+Z shortcut) will cancel an auto-fill action

Improved auto-fill prompts will also apply to Initials fields and Stamps fields

Enhanced UI prompts will be available on desktop and tablet devices (web application only).
