Question

Why is Docusign renaming my files as I upload them?

As I’m creating an envelope, Docusign has recently started renaming the files as they are uploaded. Why is this? I need them to stay as the original filename.

Hello ​@SaraHaz,

Thanks for reaching out here in the Docusign Community—great to have you here! I'm sorry to hear you're encountering this issue.

Could you please provide a screenshot or sample showing the original filename and the filename displayed after the document is uploaded to DocuSign so we can investigate further?

We look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Jenny. Thanks for replying.

Here’s a couple of examples:
 

 

Original files:

 

 

I tried discarding and restarting the envelope several times, signed out of my account etc - all the usual things, but it changed the filename every time.
I sent another envelope on Friday afternoon and it was fine 🤷🏻‍♀️

 

Thanks.

Hello ​@SaraHaz,

Thanks for sharing the screenshot.

We tested this on our end by uploading a file with similar file names to those shown in the screenshot. However, the file names remained unchanged after upload, and we were unable to reproduce the issue.

Hi Jenny
It has been ok until today, when I’ve experience the issue again but this time only on some of the files.
