Signing Experience Update & Reminder

In December, we released a new and improved signing experience to make it easier and faster for your recipients to successfully complete documents. In fact, signers are completing transactions up to 66% faster with the new signing experience.

NEW DEADLINE: We have extended the deadline for customers to transition from the previous signing experience. Beginning Friday, January 8, 2016, we will automatically transition all customers to the current signing experience. Accounts will be transitioned throughout the month of January. However, we recommend you make the transition to the current signing experience as soon as possible to take advantage of the new capabilities and enjoy faster completion times. Please note, DocuSign is no longer making bug fixes to the previous signing experience.

Administrators can transition their organization via the "DocuSign Winter '15 Signing Experience" option in the Classic DocuSign Experience web application under Preferences. Detailed Information is available in the New and Improved Signing Experience Info Guide.

  • Homepage Redesign: We've updated the look and feel of the homepage to offer streamlined usability and informative messaging about new improvements. (Available now)
