Feature Request: Auto-populate Email Subject and Envelope Name with Uploaded Document FilenameIdea Submitted

I would like to submit a high-value product enhancement request regarding envelope/template creation efficiency.Current Limitation:Currently, when a user uploads a document (PDF/Word) into DocuSign, the Email Subject and Envelope Name default to a generic text or template name, requiring manual entry or copy-pasting of the exact filename every single time.Proposed Enhancement:Add an option or automated setting that dynamically populates the Email Subject / Envelope Name with the Uploaded Document's Filename (minus the file extension).Why This is Necessary & Easy to Implement: Technical Simplicity: Reading the metadata/string of an uploaded file's name and mapping it to the Email Subject string field is a straightforward capability. High Efficiency & Time Saving: For engineering, construction (e.g., NCRs, RFIs, Submittals), legal, and compliance teams managing hundreds of documents daily, manually re-typing file names creates unnecessary friction. Seamless Document Tracking: Automatic naming ensures that email notifications and dashboard records strictly match original document numbers without manual intervention. Thank you for considering this request for your upcoming product roadmap!

Agreement Desk: Custom Dashboards per Owner in InsightsIdea Submitted

I want to be able to have a Custom Dashboard in the insights, to show each owner of the request and be able to easily view how many requests per person, or find these requests easily using almost a pie chart. I want this specifically for Open Requests, to see how many each person has in Agreement Desk Requests.

Support Bulk Import of Signing GroupsIdea Submitted

We have a common use case where we need to send out bulk envelope campaigns. We create a template and bind that to a set of email recipients. In many of our campaigns we have a mixture of individual signers and group signers. For the group signers we only need one of the recipients to sign. After one signature, the envelope is completed and other signers need not sign.We are looking for the capability to bulk import signing groups; currently, we can only create the signing groups manually. Also, we are asking support for the case where if one person in a signing group signs the envelope then the envelope is complete.

Department-Level Group Admins with Scoped User ManagementIdea Submitted

We would like to request an enhancement to DocuSign’s user and group management model to support true department-level group administration. Specifically, the ability to designate a “group super-user” who can add and remove users within their assigned group only, without granting broader administrative permissions.In our current configuration, the closest available option is to assign a custom Permission Profile with limited administrative access (Users and Groups → Edit Groups Only). However, this permission allows the user to view all users and manage membership across all groups in the account, which does not meet least-privilege or separation-of-duties requirements. There is currently no way to scope this capability to a single group, nor to prevent visibility or modification of other departments such as HR or Finance.The ideal solution would allow Account Administrators to assign group-scoped admin rights, enabling designated users to manage membership for their own department while preventing access to password changes, other groups, or account-wide settings. This capability would significantly improve governance, scalability, and security for organizations with multiple departments, especially those looking to decentralize routine user management without increasing risk.We believe this enhancement would benefit many customers with enterprise governance requirements and would appreciate consideration for future roadmap planning.

Consistent regional settings / date format across all pagesIdea Submitted

I have chosen the UK date format for my regional settings, and its displays correctly in all areas with the exception of the page viewed when viewing the signing order of an envelope. Here it still displays in US date format. I think it is reasonable to expect that regional settings should be consistent across the product.

Document VisabilityIdea Submitted

Enhance Document Visibility so that it can be enabled for any uploaded document, regardless of whether fields have been assigned to recipients, or what action you place against each recipient. Removing the dependency on actionable fields would make the feature more useful and allow Document Visibility to be applied consistently across all documents.

Filter to find emails that are not sorted into folderIdea Submitted

In the current Docusign navigation experience, adding an envelope to a folder does not remove it from the main Agreements or All Agreements view. The envelope remains visible in the unified list and is also associated with the selected folder. I prefer the older experience where I can sort envelope that are completed and downloaded into subfolders. So that I can focus on envelopes that are completed but not treated.I wish Docusign would at least allow filtering of envelops not in folder.

Partial signatureIdea Submitted

I need the option of sending out an agreement for partial signature, as we were able to do in Lexion. Reason is sometimes each Party takes care of their own e-signature, but as soon as an enveloppe is completed in DocuSign it adds the agreement as completed and adds it in the repository, although it’s only partially signed. It’s then very complicated to delete the partially signed copy from the Completed (repository) and replacing it with the fully executed version.Another option would be to add a “replace” option in the completed document in DocuSign. That option also existed in Lexion.

Font Color options and setting required colors for SignatureIdea Submitted

We have certain documents that are REQUIRED to be signed in blue. Currently there is no way for senders to set this as a setting on the signature field. We are reliant on the signers remembering to upload a blue signature to their account (if they have one) and then also burden them with remembering to choose it when signing these specific forms. Business Impact: High volume of incorrectly signed documents and frustration for our business teamsSolution(s): 1. Provide the ability for senders to set the font color on signature fields like we can with others. 2. Make adopting an alternate color signature available in the web signing session.

Allow Selection of Saved Profile Signatures When Signing via Drag-and-Drop Signature FieldsIdea Submitted

When signing documents in DocuSign, users can select from the signatures saved in their profile when completing a predefined signature placeholder. However, when a signature field is added directly during the signing process using drag and drop, the saved profile signatures are not available.This creates an inconsistent user experience because the available signature options depend on how the signature field was created rather than on the user's configured profile signatures.Many users maintain multiple signatures in their DocuSign profile, for example:Signatures with and without academic titles Alternative signature styles Different signatures for specific business contextsFrom an end-user perspective, they should be able to select any signature stored in their profile regardless of whether the signature field was predefined by the sender or added via drag and drop during signing.Proposed EnhancementEnable signers to access and select all signatures configured in their DocuSign profile whenever they are applying a signature, including signatures added through drag-and-drop fields.Business ValueConsistent signing experience across different workflows Better usability for users with multiple saved signatures Reduced confusion caused by differing behavior between signing experiences Less dependency on document preparation and field preconfiguration by sendersThis enhancement would provide a more intuitive and flexible signing experience while aligning the drag-and-drop workflow with the existing placeholder-based signing experience.

Let ECFs do their job in the background without unnecessarily exposing technical fields to senders.Idea Submitted

Flexible Visibility of Envelope Custom Fields (ECFs) DocuSign allows Envelope Custom Fields (ECFs) to be used as unique identifiers, such as contract IDs or purchase order (PO) numbers, in envelope email subjects. For high-volume document processing and large campaigns, Bulk Send with CSV uploads is an efficient way to manage envelopes using these identifiers.However, to use an ECF in this process, it must be visible to envelope creators at the account level, even when it is only required for background processing. This can confuse senders and unnecessarily expose technical fields in their workflow.Proposed enhancement Allow ECFs to remain functional while hidden from envelope creators, with more granular visibility controls.Ideally, administrators should be able to:Use hidden ECFs in Bulk Send CSV uploads and envelope email subjects. Configure visibility at the Template or Group level, rather than only account-wide. Control ECF visibility independently of its availability for processing.Suggested implementation priority 1. Initial enhancement: Allow hidden ECFs to be populated through Bulk Send and used in email subjects.2. Further enhancement: Introduce Template- or Group-level visibility settings for greater flexibility across business processes.This improvement would simplify the sender experience, reduce unnecessary training, and enable more flexible automation and identification workflows without exposing irrelevant technical fields to users.BRFrantisek

Easier population of emails in Agreement Desk messagesIdea Submitted

We are utilizing messaging in Agreement Desk to communicate with non-licensed users. Our intake form already collects the requestor email and the counterparty’s email, but every time we send a message from the request, we have to type the email address into the To field manually. Request: Let a request field (for example “Counterparty Email”) prepopulate the To field in Send Message, Reply, and Send for Signature. A related option would be to store the counterparty or requestor as a participant or contact that can be selected with one click.Why it matters: This removes repetitive data entry and reduces the risk of misaddressed emails to external parties.

Include the sender on Agreement Desk message threadsIdea Submitted

When a user sends a message from an Agreement Desk request, the sender is not included on the email thread. Recipients and CC’d people receive it, but when they reply or reply-all, the reply goes to the request and not to the sender’s inbox. The sender only sees replies in the Activity Feed and can’t reply to the email thread directly.Request: Add the sender to the thread automatically (or offer a toggle such as “Copy me on messages”) so replies and reply-alls reach their inbox as well as the request.

Ability to control the color schemeUnder review

It would be great if the user was able to control the color scheme - especially the tags when designating signers. The pastel colors are nice… but they are not as easy to differentiate as the bolder colors they replaced. Also the ‘pink and blue’ scheme is not very professional.thank you,mr1

Support for Topaz 4x3 Signature PadsIdea Submitted

Topaz branded signature pads with a 4x3 aspect ratio is not supported by Docusign, even though they state they support Topaz.When I opened a ticket, it was explained to me that “the 4x3 signature pads were not available when the feature was initially developed”It was the Mid 2000s when the 4x3 signature pads were developed, so it’s long overdue for engineering to add this functionality.

Need a daily report of contracts uploaded today in DocuSign IAMIdea Submitted

Description:We need a report that lists every contract uploaded to DocuSign IAM today (or in the last 24 hours).Issue:The Created Date filter in Agreements only takes fixed dates or a date range. It has no relative option like "Today" or "Last 24 hours," so we have to enter dates by hand every time. That also means we can't save the report or schedule it.Request:Is there already a way to report on contracts created today or in the last 24 hours, either in Agreements or in Insights reports? If not, please add relative date options (Today / Last 24 hours / Last N days) to the Created Date filter, and let us save and schedule the report.

Need to see the sent folder againIdea Submitted

With your second change, to remove the sent folder completely, we are now unable to track progress of an envelope on one screen.Show me the filters that will mimic the settings that was the sent option.We need to see all working on envelopes, if they have been viewed, not viewed and the ones just completed.Once completed we need to be able to remove them from the screen and to a folder.Currently there is no option to exlude the ones which have been sent to a folder, which makes it muddled, full and confusing which ones are current envelope tasks and which are done. If a person takes two weeks to sign, their envelope will say complete but reside below all the ones finished and archived to a folder, maybe getting missed completely.This has already affected our Customers and I get repeated requests for a fix from our users for a fix. The last fix that worked temporarily is no longer accesible which is to use old navigation.

Create a scheduled report to identify active users and license typeIdea Submitted

We would like the ability to schedule a report to automatically be delivered to our contract team to determine the active user count by license count. This will streamline the contract audit and renewal process with DocuSign. We are aware we can do this manually via the user export but that is tedious. Also, when I run the bulk export of users, the total of Full licensed users does not match the count that shows on the user administration page.

Is there an option to stay in old navigation?Idea Submitted

The new navigation is not user friendly when comes to tracking work process. I prefer the old one which i can go buy sent box and in box. Is there a way to default to old navigation?

Extend Recipient Auto-Population to Conditional RoutingIdea Submitted

Explanation:When a recipient role, such as Customer Signer 1, is used more than once in a DocuSign template, the recipient’s name and email should automatically carry forward to subsequent occurrences of that same role, including when the recipient appears within a conditional routing path.Currently, when Customer Signer 1 appears outside conditional routing, the name and email entered by the user can be reused. I would like this same behavior to apply when Customer Signer 1 appears again within a conditional routing group.Expected behavior:If the sender manually enters the name and email for Customer Signer 1 when sending an envelope through the DocuSign web application, any subsequent occurrence of Customer Signer 1 in the template should automatically use the same name and email, regardless of whether that occurrence is part of standard routing or conditional routing.

Let delegated admins assign roles without being able to grant DS AdminIdea Submitted

We use a custom admin role so our operators can handle day-to-day user and group management, while organization-level settings like data retention stay locked down. The problem is how role assignment works. With "Edit Users & Groups", operators can't assign their own role to a new colleague. With "Edit Users, Groups & Administrator", they can, but they can also grant DS Admin to anyone. That means a deliberately restricted role can effectively create full administrators, which defeats the point of restricting it.It would be great to have a way to limit which roles a delegated admin can assign. That could be an allow-list per custom role, an "assign roles of equal or lower privilege" option, or simply preventing anyone other than a DS Admin from granting DS Admin.This matters for any organization with a tiered admin model, where a central team sets policy and operators handle daily tasks. It's also a least-privilege and separation-of-duties issue that auditors tend to care about.If you've run into the same limitation, please upvote and tell us how you're working around it.

Selective Combine when downloading documentsIdea Submitted

I understand there isn't a built in option to select specific documents and combine only those into one PDF file, but I would like to recommend that Docusign reinstate this feature! This feature would make my work much more efficient. As it stands, when you try to download a completed document and select “Combine all documents into one" it automatically selects ALL documents in the envelope. Previously, I could select only some of the documents and still select “Combine” which acted as a shortcut to combining files manually in Adobe. Docusign should reinstate the ability to select specific documents and combine only those into one PDF file.
