Currently, when downloading a completed envelope, the system automatically modifies the original file name by altering or removing periods (.) included within the document name. While this behavior may be intended to comply with system file-naming standards, it impacts organizations that intentionally use periods as part of their structured file-naming conventions, particularly for version control (e.g., v1.0, v2.1, etc.). We request an enhancement that preserves the original file name formatting upon download, including periods within the file name (excluding the file extension). Maintaining the exact file name would help ensure consistency across document management systems, prevent version-tracking discrepancies, and reduce the need for manual renaming after download.
I see others have complained about this. I only need to see the pop-up tutorials once or twice, I’m not a dummy. But they play over and over and over everytime, every day when I log in, sometimes I’m treated to them multiple times a day.REALLY DOCUSIGN ENGINEERS - You ought to try sending out 500 envelopes one by one and deal with the popups.Please give us admins a way to turn them off!! or limit them to no more than 5 showingsThank you!Clutterbug
Hello - I use Docusign multiple times in a day sometimes and each time I am sending out a document it will pop up with the hints or ideas. It would be very nice to be able to turn this feature off. It becomes quite cumbersome to have to do this repeatedly.
Lets get rid of the pop ups or at least allow the admins to have a way to turn them off. Don’t need to see them many times a day!
We need the ability for all comments to download with the signed documents at the place they were submitted, or at least the “Comment History” to be available to more than just the sender/signer. For instance if one signer is a group, if one person signs and another in the same group needs to review the documents at a later date for quality control, they can not see the comments because they were not an original signer even though they were in the signing group. As a bank, we need to be able to see all comments by all parties, all the time. I found other questions about this in the community, so I know other fields also need this ability.
Enable the ability to center or right-align text within fields, instead of the default left alignment. This feature is essential for users integrating digital applications via API.
Currently, when sending mass mailings, it is only possible to personalise attachments created using a Word template.It is not possible to personalise the subject line and body text of the email being sent.It would be useful if the fields from the CSV import could also be used here. That way, for example, the sender of the document could be identified even in an inbox containing replies.Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
Sometimes an earlier signer needs to enter some data values into a form first, but they get confused when some fields appear blank (such as the name of the client/subject).Since the name is not manually entered by the later signer (e.g. client), can the value pre-populate into the form so that all signers will already see the value that will be ultimately auto-entered in?
When using scheduled envelopes, there is currently no easy overview of when certain envelopes will be sent. My proposition is to either add a new column to the Drafts page under Agreements with the planned date.Or to expand the filtering on the Drafts page under Agreements so that we can filter on more properties of the envelopes.
Problem:I’m working with large third-party agreements (often 30–70+ pages) and frequently need to place initials on every page within a specific range (for example, pages 2–35 or 1–68).Currently, AutoPlace (Anchor Tagging) in DocuSign is text-based and works well when there’s a consistent anchor string. However, in many third-party documents:There are no consistent anchor tags across all pages Or adding anchor text isn’t feasibleThe challenge:There’s no native way to automatically place fields (like initials) based on a page range. This means we have to:Manually place fields page by page, or Pre-edit documents to insert anchor tags (not always practical)Feature idea:It would be extremely useful to have an option like:“Apply field to page range” (e.g., pages 2–35) Or “Apply field to all pages except first/last” Or rules like “place initials bottom-right on every page in range”Use cases:Third-party contracts Compliance-heavy documents requiring page-by-page acknowledgment High-volume workflows where manual tagging isn’t scalableQuestion:Is anything like “AutoPlace by page range” on the roadmap?Or are there recommended best practices/workarounds others are using at scale?
Please connect the request to a completed agreement. The idea is that you can audit the approval trail.
I don’t see any reason why delegations only apply to those assigned the “Needs to Sign” action. It should apply to those assigned the “Allowed to Edit” and other actions as well. Currently we have many envelopes stuck in the queue of an employee currently on vacation, and the only remedy is for the originator to retract and modify the approval path or for all templates to be updated every time that person goes on vacation, both of which are very inefficient.
Hi Team,When accessing the eSignature signing process, users have the option to select “Assign to Someone Else” instead of signing.This allows users to enter the following information:New signer’s nameNew signer’s email addressComment (up to 250 characters)We have observed that the 250-character limit for the comment field restricts the amount of information that can be provided when reassigning the document. Our business requests to increase the character limit for comments. Could you please increase this character limit in future enhancement?
Hi Team,Is there a way to prevent users from accessing the Edit Recipients page before sending an agreement? I have attached several screenshots highlighting the sections I am referring to.Currently, business users are able to access the Edit Recipients page and modify the signing type or change the signing order. In some cases, users enter incorrect signing order numbers or forget to update them properly, which impacts our agreement status mapping.We specifically need to restrict users from accessing the Edit Recipients section on the final page when sending agreements for signature.is it possible to control this behavior through permission sets as an enhancement? This will help us lot control Docusign process properly.
