Remove Auto-Population of Personal Home Address in Certificate of Completion DocumentIdea Submitted

I noticed the other day that my personal home address was showing automatically in the Certificate of Completion document (which shows all the completed signatures). It is up in the righthand corner under Originator. I never asked for this or knew about it. I called DocuSign. After the service rep talked to a supervisor, they concluded that this is automatic and I can’t change it. The only workaround was that I put in a different address in the Billing Address (something I am okay with tons of people seeing on that Certificate of Completion). Then, when time for me to purchase more envelopes...I have to put my real billing address in at that time...buy them...then change it again to a “safe different” address.I feel like this is a huge privacy issue. I send these certificates of completion out to a lot of different people for my job. I don’t want all of those people knowing where I live. DocuSign...I feel like you CAN find a way to prevent the billing address from automatically showing up on the Certificate of Completion page in the top right under Originator. Please see why this is not a good business practice the way it is currently. Thank you.Allison

Authentication monitoring in a single reportIdea Submitted

At this time, admins must review two different reports to see authentication used for legacy and modern authentication. It would be more efficient to have a single report showing all envelopes sent and the authentication method used in the envelope. The two reports are the Envelope Authentication Report and the Application Identity Verification Report.We are limited by Salesforce integration having only legacy authentication available through Nintex, so we have to monitor both reports. We are also limited by the 24hour skip authentication setting only being available for legacy authentication methods, so we have our wire teams on legacy so that we don’t stop production in a time sensitive business function. Our ideal state would be to use only modern authentication, but we need proper reporting to monitor all authentication methods in use.

Idea: Complete the Document Template development!Idea Submitted

The Document Template function still feels like a beta!Common issues:Copy pasting large numbers of fields take long, fail, or creates numerous copies Modifying many fields in one session sometimes leads to modifications being forgotten by the system Preview function is not usefulFor a premium product and solution provider, this is not good enough.

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

Alberta's New Time SystemIdea Submitted

Alberta, Canada has eliminated the practice of semi-annual clock changes and will adopt permanent Alberta Time. Beginning in November 2026, clocks will no longer revert to Mountain Standard Time, and Alberta will remain on Alberta Time year-round. Alberta Time is equivalent to UTC-6:00.I would like to request to add (UTC-06:00) Alberta to the list of available time zones.Thank you for your assistance.

Fix alignment of text, date and signature fieldsParked

The way I placed the text and signature date field in this form is the ideal placement for the bottom of the text to be aligned. The only way to verify that this is where the final result is going to line up, is to switch into preview mode and check what the document will look like once signed. It’s not possible to line up the text and signature date fields intuitively and trust that the contents will line up. The preview displayed while placing the fields with placeholders should be the exact same as what is shown in the final document. It’s incredibly tedious to get the placement right if you want the documents to look professional.

Can you segregate private confidential envelopes for signing from envelopes in a shared access folder?Idea Submitted

When you have set up Shared Access for a team to collaborate the team can easily view and act on envelopes. When an individual receives an envelope that should ONLY be visible to the individual can you restrict access to that individual and hide it from the Shared Access group? If I am in multiple Shared Access groups can all users see all my documents in the groups?

Add configurable document status filter to Parties pageIdea Submitted

Hi! Currently, the Parties page only provides default filters that cannot be modified or extended. When reviewing agreements linked to a specific party, users cannot easily identify the current status of individual documents and have to manually open each.We would like to have the ability to add and configure a Document Status filter on the Parties page. The filter could allow users to quickly view agreements by status, such as:Draft In Progress Signed / Completed Cancelled ExpiredThis would significantly improve visibility and contract tracking, especially for parties associated with multiple agreements. Users could immediately understand what is happening with each document without needing to open individual records or create separate reports.Business value:Faster contract status review Improved user experience Better visibility of document lifecycle stages Reduced need for custom reports for basic status tracking Easier management of parties with many associated agreementsUse case:A user opens a Party record and wants to see only agreements that are currently In Progress or Signed. Currently, this is not possible from the Parties page and requires additional reporting or manual review.

Ability to change default "quick View" FiltersIdea Submitted

Everyday I open DocuSign and then have to “clear filters” because, yet again, DocuSign has provided defaults that are not helpful to me.Can these defaults be under user control? Or can the user have the ability to turn off this feature?thanks,mr1

Custody Transfer envelopes for an inactive docusign accountIdea Submitted

I opened a support ticket with Docusign and they suggested I create an idea for a custody envelope transfer for an inactive sender account (employee left the company etc). If I inactivate a sender, I used the custody search and am not able to locate the inactive users when I search by email or by name. I know the user has envelopes from 6 months ago because I was able to search on a date range, but this is difficult to transfer all of them at once. So the work around they suggested is not inactivating the user until the envelopes are transferred. I am not fond of keeping accounts active until the transfer can be completed.

enhancement to the Certificate of Completion downloadIdea Submitted

Dear DocuSign Team,I would like to suggest a small enhancement to the Certificate of Completion download.Currently, the certificate is downloaded with a generic filename such as "Summary.pdf". As a result, users need to manually rename each certificate to identify the document or envelope it relates to.Would it be possible to include the envelope subject or document name in the filename automatically? For example:Current: Summary.pdfProposed: Summary - Merens Holdco Board Minutes 2026.03.06.pdfThis would make filing and document management much easier and faster, particularly for legal and corporate governance teams handling large volumes of signed documents.Thank you for considering this suggestion.Katya

Workflow initiator (sender) informationParked

Currently, in Docusign Workflow Builder (formerly Maestro), there is no way to directly access or use the workflow initiator (sender) details — such as name, email address, or user ID — within the workflow logic or subsequent steps.This enhancement would allow workflows to dynamically reference the initiator’s information without requiring an API start or additional manual input.Example use cases: Display or store the sender’s name and email in downstream workflow steps. Use the initiator’s details in conditions, notifications, or audit logs. Simplify workflow design when the workflow is started manually by a user (not via API).

When our team is countersigning a lease (the tenant) has already signed the lease. It would be helpful if we were able to rotate the lease should it need to be adjusted.

Add Field Rotation OptionIdea Submitted

I just ran into the fact that DocuSign doesn’t have the ability to rotate fields. This would be extremely useful for me in getting architectural documents signed, where information is often laid out sideways as well as vertically. Honestly, this is such a basic feature it’s crazy to me that DocuSign doesn’t have it, especially for a system that costs as much as it does. Please add!

Webform submission in PDFIdea Submitted

Hi, We are looking to utilize webforms heavily as part of our process. Currently the only option to view submissions in Excel. This is not at all user friendly, to the point I am not sure if we want to use webforms. Can you please have a separate tab for submissions and to download the submissions into nice viewable PDF form. Docusign currently has a nice summary page before the webform is submitted, can that view be captured when it is submitted and that would be what we would be able to download and save in our client files. Thanks.

Pre-fill Field Additional AssistanceIdea Submitted

When a document has a pre-fill field that the sender must fill in before sending the document, the error message is not very helpful for the sender. It simply tells the user that a pre-fill field must be filled in. It does not specify what field or give any useful information. It would be ideal that the document would jump right to where the missing information is located so that the sender can easily understand what they are missing.

Please include the server ID (site ID) next to the account number (#00000000-server), as we sometimes need to identify which server the user's account is on. It is visible only on the Subscription page, which some admins and normal users cannot access.Example: #12345678-NA2

Feature Request: Restrict Approval Comment Visibility by Approver in DocuSign RequestIdea Submitted

We would like to submit a feature request for DocuSign Request regarding the visibility of approval comments.Business RequirementOur approval workflow includes multiple approvers from different departments. Each approver should be able to review and submit their own approval decision without seeing comments made by other approvers.We would like to have the ability to configure approval comment visibility as follows:Each Approver can view only their own approval comments. The Submitter can view all approval comments. Approvers cannot view comments left by other approvers.Business ValueIn many approval scenarios, approvers provide confidential or independent feedback. Allowing approvers to view each other's comments may influence their decisions or expose information that should remain confidential.Providing configurable comment visibility would help organizations:Maintain the independence of each approval decision. Protect confidential approval comments. Improve compliance with internal approval policies. Give submitters complete visibility while limiting visibility for approvers.We believe this capability would be valuable for organizations with complex approval workflows and would appreciate your consideration for a future enhancement.Thank you for your time and consideration.

Ability to drop an initial box on every pageIdea Submitted

When creating a Docusign e-signature request for a long contract, the Auto-place function can be useful, but it does not always work as expected and leads to a suboptimal user experience.For example, I worked on a 290-page contract where only the first 40 pages shared the same layout. The 'auto-place' function only applied to those pages, meaning I had to manually add initials for two signatories across the remaining 250 pages. In addition, the fields were placed on top of the text rather than near it. Adjusting the auto-placed fields in a large document also caused timeouts or loading errors.A more efficient solution would be an option to automatically place initials for each signer in a fixed position on every page (e.g. bottom left for one signer and bottom right for another). This would allow users to simply scroll through the document and make minor adjustments to the placement if needed, instead of manually placing fields page by page and switching between signers.While initialling every page may not be necessary for simple agreements, it can be important for high-value contracts with extensive technical documentation. Introducing this feature would significantly improve usability and save considerable time, and it seems relatively straightforward to implement.

Allow overwriting existing template instead of creating new template IDIdea Submitted

When exporting a template from demo into production, a new template ID is created. This causes issues since we are referencing template IDs in custom applications.After making template changes in the demo org, we should be able to export those changes and upload to the production environment and overwrite an existing template instead of a new template ID being created.

Search All TemplatesIdea Submitted

Prior to a recent update, you could enter either text or a GUID in the “Search All Templates” search box and receive search results when searching for templates. Now, you have to click “Advanced Search” and select which search option you want. It would be nice to have the prior behavior back since the new search options add extra clicks.
