Open for Business: Marketing Edition is here
Acrobat and Adobe Express support small businesses with Open for Business, a marketing toolkit featuring workflows, templates and expert advice. Adobe Express also connects with LinkedIn, allowing users’ creative work to highlight their expertise on their profiles.
More than ever, people want to work for themselves. In fact, 62 percent of Americans say they’d rather run their own thing than work for someone else. However for most people who venture out on their own, there’s a lot about running a successful business where they have little to no expertise at all.
That’s why we’re introducing Open for Business, a new toolkit series from Adobe built for small businesses, solopreneurs and entrepreneurs. This first edition is all about marketing, with practical tips for getting your story in front of the right people and turning interest into real business.
Your customers love your work, but marketing it is a different job, and nobody handed you a roadmap for creating a brand kit, getting in front of new customers or figuring out what to post each week. The toolkit was built to close that gap.
You’ll find step-by-step workflows and ready-made templates you can open and personalize to make your own, each paired with advice from industry experts who have been in your shoes. Think of it as a guide for helping to grow your business.
The toolkit includes four chapters, which follow the real arc of winning and keeping customers.
- Chapter One: Build your marketing foundation. Create your story, brand identity, list of product descriptions and rates once, so you’re never starting from a blank page.
- Chapter Two: Win new customers. Turn interest into signed deals with a tailored pitch deck, proposal, agreement and welcome kit.
- Chapter Three: Make every win count. Capture your results and package them into case studies and a portfolio that proves what you can do.
- Chapter Four: Amplify your story. Tap into a massive collection of professionally designed templates to create click-worthy social posts, then share, repurpose and schedule so your best work keeps reaching the right people long after a project wraps.
The right tools make a real difference
Great marketing starts with good prep: knowing what you want to say and having the right tools within reach when you need them. The toolkit leans on two specific tools small businesses can start using today: Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Express.
Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Express bring together powerful productivity and creativity tools to help entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and small business owners build and grow their businesses.
- With Acrobat, you can do your research and analysis, uncover insights across your files, turn plain documents into polished assets and create, review and sign the agreements that make a deal official, all in one secure, AI-powered workspace.
- With Express, you can design standout marketing materials and social content, set up a brand kit that keeps everything on brand and schedule a month of social posts quickly and easily. From the first pitch to the signed contract to the follow-up campaign, Adobe helps you save time, get more done and stand out.
Advice from people who’ve been there
Every chapter pairs these tools with real advice from experts who’ve built businesses of their own, including Kristen Kish, professional chef, small business owner, and "Top Chef" host, who we’re partnering with to launch the first edition.
Kish spent years mastering her craft in professional kitchens before she won "Top Chef" and went on to host it. When she opened her own restaurant, she had to learn a whole new side of the job: building a brand, leading a team, keeping the tables full. Like a lot of small business owners, she was cooking and running the business at the same time. She figured out the business side the way many do: by asking questions and leaning on people who had been there before.
“I almost always have more questions than I do answers, so it’s about surrounding yourself with the right support. Whether it’s hiring great people, leaning on technology, or just having a community to talk things through, you don’t have to figure out the business side alone.”
— Kristen Kish
That’s the spirit behind Open for Business: you don’t have to figure it out alone. The toolkit puts Adobe tools and templates at your fingertips, along with support and direction. Kish and other experts, like Daymond John, founder of fashion brand FUBU, Chris Do, Emmy Award-winning director, designer, and founder of The Futur, and a roster of marketing strategists share what’s worked for them, paired with a step-by-step workflow you can start using today. For example, Do explains how to use certain design elements like copywriting and photography to elevate your brand perception while John highlights the key pieces to a winning pitch deck.
Your taste is the secret ingredient
We’ve designed this toolkit to help you save time, get more done and stand out. And like any advice, it also requires you to add what makes you and your business special and then extend that to your content and customers’ experiences.
As Kish puts it, “Anyone can follow a recipe, but your personal tastes and instincts are what give the work its story and soul.” The tools take care of the heavy lifting so you can spend more time on the parts no template can give you: your own taste and judgment.
Show your skills on your profile
A founder's LinkedIn profile is often where new partners and talent get to know you. We’re also announcing that Adobe Express is now a LinkedIn connected app, so when you create consistently with Express your LinkedIn profile will say so — based on real work. And when that happens, your profile communicates your true expertise, in real time, growing your portfolio and your online visibility.
Explore Adobe Express and Adobe Acrobat to start building your marketing foundation today.

Web search is now available in Acrobat
Acrobat expands AI Assistant with optional web search, combining document-based answers with current online context and clickable citations. Users can toggle web access or keep answers limited to their files, while documents remain in Acrobat and aren’t sent to search providers.
A lot of work starts in documents like contracts, proposals, reports, and plans. Hundreds of millions of people trust Acrobat every year to help them read, understand and act on the information in their documents faster, smarter and more securely.
AI Assistant in Acrobat is where many begin. It helps you find insights you can rely on across your documents. Ask questions and answers come with citations that let you view the exact spot in the source where it came from so you can verify the information, see the full context and dive deeper when it makes sense.
At the same time, the world outside your documents keeps changing. Exchange rates move, market conditions shift, and new information emerges every day in industry reports, current regulations, or other sources across the web.
That’s why we’re expanding where AI Assistant can look for answers, giving you the choice to add web search when you want to.
Your documents first
When you're working with a contract, a proposal, or a loan offer, the document is your source of truth. AI Assistant always starts there, and now when a question would benefit from outside context, you can opt to let it look at the web as well and bring that information into the same conversation. Every web-sourced answer includes a clickable citation, so you can check the source to verify information and read further.
Here's what that looks like:
- A retail clothing store owner is reviewing a supplier contract and asks, "What are the payment terms?" The answer comes straight from the contract, with a citation to the relevant clause in the contract. Then she notices the supplier will invoice her in euros and wants to know what that is in U.S. dollars. With web search enabled in AI Assistant she can ask for the current exchange rate right in Acrobat and get a link to its source.
- A consultant has a proposal that's nearly ready. Before it goes out, he asks whether the market statistics, competitor details, and pricing assumptions still hold. AI Assistant uses the proposal as the starting point, compares it with current information from the web, and flags what may be worth refreshing. He decides which updates to make, having checked the links for each source.
- A small business owner uploads a loan offer and asks how the terms compare with current market rates. AI Assistant quotes the interest rate and repayment terms from the offer, then shows current market rates from the web. Each figure carries its own citation, so he knows which numbers came from his paperwork, and which came from outside it.
- A real estate agent keeps a listing, an inspection report, HOA documents, and a market analysis in one PDF Space. She asks, "Is this property fairly priced, and what questions should I discuss with my client?" The answer draws on every file, pointing to the roof damage in the inspection report and the restrictions in the HOA documents. It then adds current comparable sales and local trends from the web.
The same approach fits many other kinds of work as well. Before a meeting, you can pair your own notes with recent news about your company or competitors. When you're refreshing a research report, you can see how the industry has changed since it was written.
You’re always in control
Web search is easy to find, control and use:
- You’ll know when web search is on. When AI Assistant searches for an answer on the web for the first time, Acrobat lets you know and shows you a toggle where you can control it.
- Turn it on or off anytime. Easily control web search with the toggle anytime you want. You can use it for every task or only some
- Stick to your documents. Even with web search enabled, you can ask AI Assistant to look for answers only in your documents.
We’re bringing Acrobat’s trusted approach to keeping your data safe to web search. Your documents always stay within Acrobat and aren't sent to the search provider. Adobe doesn't train its AI models on your content.
The AI tools we use for important work should make it easy to check what they tell us. With AI Assistant and web search in Acrobat, a document citation takes you to the supporting text, and a web citation takes you to the source page. You always know where each answer came from.
Try it on your next document.

New and Enhanced Features
Docusign releases November updates that strengthen Joint Agreement validation and add NOM 151-compliant seals, improved Connect dashboards, and new template and workspace controls. The release also expands workflow automation, AI-assisted previews, and identity verification with Apple Wallet mobile driver’s licenses.
Release Note Applicability
This publication applies to the Demo release for November 2026, version 26.3.02.00.
Important: Feature availability timing may vary. Each month, Release Notes include items from different parts of the Docusign product. Some of these areas have different release cycles, which means availability of the feature may vary. Items are available by the end of the month for which the notes are written, but may appear slightly before or after the release notes are published.
Joint Agreements: Designated Carbon Copy Enforcement Change
We are introducing additional validation to ensure Joint Agreement envelopes are correctly associated with their designated network recipient and comply with its configured requirements.
What's Changing?
- Web App: Users sending an envelope to a Joint Agreement network's designated CC recipient will be required to Set Document Access.
- API: The linkedAccountConfigurationId is now required for the designated CC recipient and must match the intended Joint Agreement network.
- Recipient Validation: The CC recipient's name and email must match the designated recipient configured in the network.
These changes prevent Joint Agreements from bypassing network requirements, including required authentication and terms.
New Validation Errors
Envelopes that do not meet these requirements will be blocked from sending and return one of the following errors:
Scenario Error Code Error Message Missing or improperly formatted linkedAccountConfigurationId JOINT_AGREEMENT_PRIMARY_ACCOUNT_NOT_FOUND_ERROR linkedAccountConfigurationId is not specified for Joint Agreements network CC recipient. Recipient Id: 2 Incorrect linkedAccountConfigurationId EXTERNAL_LINKED_ACCOUNT_INVALID External linked account recipient must be a primary account. Designated recipient email mismatch JOINT_AGREEMENT_PRIMARY_ACCOUNT_NOT_FOUND_ERROR Recipient email does not match the email of the custodian account's designated recipient. Designated recipient name mismatch JOINT_AGREEMENT_PRIMARY_ACCOUNT_NOT_FOUND_ERROR Recipient name does not match the name of the custodian account's designated recipient.Note: Error messages above have been abbreviated. API responses will include the full error message and applicable recipient or configuration ID.
Rollout schedule
This change is expected to be fully rolled out to both Demo and Production by the end of October.
Introducing NOM 151-Compliant Seals for Mexico
Docusign eSignature is introducing NOM 151-compliant seals to help organizations operating in Mexico preserve the integrity and authenticity of their electronic agreements under the Mexican NOM-151-SCFI-2016 standard.
What's changed
- Buyers can purchase NOM 151 as a Docusign resell offering, without onboarding and managing a separate vendor for preservation services.
- Administrators can provision NOM 151 through a more self-service setup experience, reducing the need for account-by-account configuration.
- Senders continue to use the familiar envelope workflow, adding the NOM 151 seal as the final signature when required.
- After signing, Docusign creates a digital summary, or hash, of the finalized agreement and sends it to a Trust Service Provider (TSP).
- The TSP obtains a time-stamped Constancia de Conservación evidence file from an accredited Certification Service Provider (CSP) and returns it to Docusign.
- Docusign stores the completed agreement and its NOM 151 evidence file together, so customers can retrieve both from the Docusign platform.
Why it matters
NOM 151 requires electronic documents to be preserved in a way that maintains their integrity and authenticity over time. This update helps customers execute and store NOM 151-compliant agreements in Docusign without managing a separate vendor for compliant preservation.
How it works
- An administrator provisions NOM 151 for the Docusign account.
- The sender adds the NOM 151 seal as the last recipient in the envelope. Other recipients may be included before the NOM 151 seal.
- After the recipients complete their actions, Docusign finalizes the PDF and calculates its hash.
- The TSP submits the hash to an accredited CSP, which issues the Constancia de Conservación evidence file.
- The TSP returns the evidence file to Docusign for storage.
- The sender can download the completed envelope and retrieve the evidence file through the Trust Records API.
Availability
- Initial availability is planned for customers operating in Mexico, with English and Spanish-language support.
- The feature is planned for beta availability (15th of October) for LATAM Customer Advisory Board and co-innovation partners, with broader availability to follow (End of October).
- NOM 151 must be provisioned on the customer account before senders can use the seal.
Prerequisites and limitations
Before using NOM 151 seals with Docusign eSignature:
- The customer account must have NOM 151 provisioned.
- The NOM 151 seal must be the last signature in the envelope.
- An administrator must disable the Docusign platform seal for NOM 151 envelopes because it changes the document hash.
- When a sender adds a NOM 151 seal recipient, eSignature ignores any electronic seal field added to the envelope documents.
Validate NOM 151 compliance
After the envelope is complete, customers can retrieve the NOM 151 evidence file through the Trust Records API and validate the agreement by uploading the finalized PDF and evidence file to an available validator, such as the PSC World Validator, Edicom Validator, or Literax.
Connect Dashboard Improvements
Why it matters
The updated dashboard provides Connect administrators a clearer way to investigate event activity and respond to failures. It reduces the need to move between separate pages when reviewing logs, retrying events, or republishing previously delivered events.
Key improvements:
- A new chart addresses current visualization issues, including data being cut off.
- Republish any envelope/recipient event log directly from the dashboard, including CSV republish. In the Publish modal, republishes require you to select one configuration at a time. This is currently supported only in the account-level dashboard.
- Search dashboard events by object ID, such as an envelope or template ID.
- Use pagination to navigate the table, which now displays up to 10,000 logs.
- Filter dashboard data across a custom date range of up to 12 months.
- When you stop a retry, the event moves to the new Stopped Retry filter.
- View payload logs for each event directly from the table. This is currently supported only in the account-level dashboard.
- Payload log availability increases from 100 to 500 events.
How to Access
- Log in to Docusign as an account administrator, and select the Admin tab in the top navigation bar.
- Select the Account tab in the left-side navigation bar.
- Select Connect, and then select Dashboard.
Rollout Schedule
- Demo environments: October 14, 2026
- Product environments: October 14, 2026
- The Publish page will be deprecated on November 18, 2026. All the existing publish functionality is provided in the dashboard.
- The Logs page will be deprecated later in 2027.
Document Templates with APIs
Document templates can now be connected to high-volume document generation APIs (Gen&) to automate document generation without requiring a signature.
Why it matters
This integration allows customers to automate high-volume document generation directly from Document Templates, supporting generation for conversion, signature, or archiving, which streamlines agreement preparation workflows.
How to enable or configure
This feature is in Early Access for customers on IAM plans and requires Document Templates. Customers must request access through their account representative. Enablement requires configuring the account setup and the app Integrator Key after approval.
Limitations and notes
Existing templates uploaded through the Gen& API create template flow are not automatically migrated. Complex templates using classic XML syntax or non-standard JSONata are marked with a syntax indicator icon and are restricted to API-only flows, meaning they cannot be used in Maestro, Agreement Desk, or ad hoc flows.
Collaborative Roles in Workspaces
Workspaces now supports two internal collaborative roles: Manager and Editor. These roles give teams clearer, workspace-scoped control over who can view, manage, and collaborate on tasks.
The internal Participant role is being retired. Participate continues to apply to external participants only.
Why it matters
Workspaces bring the tasks, documents, and envelopes for a multi-step agreement into one place. The new roles make it easier for internal teams to collaborate on shared work without giving every user the same level of control.
For example, a Manager can manage tasks created by other workspace members, while an Editor can work on tasks they created or that have been explicitly shared with them via shared access.
What's new
Manager role: Managers have workspace-level control over tasks in the workspace.
- Managers can:
- View all tasks in the workspace.
- Create new tasks.
- Edit, void, correct, and send tasks, regardless of who created them, subject to task-state and operation-specific rules.
- Delete documents from supported tasks.
- Be assigned tasks to complete.
- Manage workspace membership where that capability is available.
Note: Manager permissions are limited to the specific workspace. A Manager in one workspace does not gain special access to tasks in another workspace.
- Managers can:
Editor role: Editors have broad visibility into the workspace with more limited write access. Editors can:
- View all tasks in the workspace.
- Create new tasks when they have the required Docusign sender permissions.
- Edit, void, correct, and send tasks they created.
- Edit, void, correct, and send tasks that another user has explicitly shared with them, subject to task-state and operation-specific rules.
- Be assigned tasks to complete.
Note: Editors cannot edit, void, correct, or send tasks they did not create and that have not been explicitly shared with them, even when those tasks are visible in the workspace.
How to enable or configure
Manager and Editor roles are assigned at the workspace level through the existing workspace membership experience. No separate customer configuration is required for the role definitions.
To give an Editor additional access to a task, share the task with that Editor using the available sharing controls.
Rollout date
November 2026.
Limitations and notes
- Permissions are scoped to the workspace and do not grant access across workspaces.
- Managers and Editors need Docusign sender permissions to create or send tasks.
- The new collaborative roles will only apply for new workspaces created from that point forward. Customers will not get access to collaborative roles in their retroactive workspaces.
Enhanced ID Verification configuration in the Docusign Admin console
Docusign is improving the way administrators configure countries and identity document types and methods for ID Verification. The updated experience makes it easier to manage configurations at scale and understand which identity methods are available in which countries.
Why it matters
Managing identity verification across multiple countries can be time-consuming across multiple countries and ID types and methods. The new experience gives administrators more control, reduces repetitive configuration work, and makes identity method choices clearer.
What's new
- Apply eligible ID types and methods to a country in bulk instead of configuring each option individually.
- View identity methods in clearer categories, with more understandable labels.
- Use a more consistent configuration experience across the various Identity verification products.
Benefits
- Configure global and regional identity verification settings more efficiently.
- Make more informed choices without needing to be an identity verification expert in every market.
- Reduce manual effort and the risk of configuration errors.
Availability
Available to all Customers using Docusign Identity Verification products.
How to enable
Administrators can manage the updated country and ID type selections from the ID Verification configuration settings in the Docusign Admin console.
Rollout schedule
- Demo environment: October 19, 2026
- Production environment: end of October 2026
AI Preview for Agreement Template Builder and Word Template Assistant
When testing document templates in preview using Agreement Template Builder (ATB) or Word Template Assistant (WTA), users can now select Preview with AI to automatically generate and pre-fill realistic sample data. This removes manual data entry, allowing users to validate and iterate on templates faster and with significantly less effort.
Availability
This functionality is available and enabled by default in Agreement Template Builder (ATB) or Word Template Assistant (WTA) for customers on any IAM plan, based in the United States, for English documents only.
How to disable
To turn it off:
- Log in to Docusign as an admin, then select the Admin tab.
- Under AI Control Settings, toggle off the AI Assistant and Agent Studio setting.
Rollout schedule
This functionality is already available in Demo and Production environments (U.S. only) as of October 1, 2026.
Workflow Builder: Use data from a CSV table
Instead of spending hours building complex conditional rules inside your workflow and running into step or branching limits, you can now simply upload a CSV file. Docusign Workflow Builder lets you pull extensive reference data directly into your workflow using simple lookups, making your logic significantly easier to maintain, edit, and update in a spreadsheet without ever having to touch or redesign your workflow setup.
Key details
- What it is: The ability to upload a CSV sheet containing extensive reference data and query it dynamically inside your workflow instead of building hardcoded conditional steps.
- Why it matters to you: Eliminates multi-step branching walls, prevents you from hitting workflow step or condition limits, and allows you to make quick updates directly in a spreadsheet without redesigning workflow logic.
How to use it
- Upload your reference CSV in the workflow configurator, map your workflow inputs to the lookup key, and select which column value to pull into downstream steps.
- Create rules with up to 6 conditionals to configure which values you would like to bring into the workflow
- Choose up to 10,000 rows for the output.
Availability
Available for IAM Professional plan (and above).
Rollout schedule
- Demo: October 15, 2026
- Production: November 5, 2026
New Verification Method: Apple Wallet Mobile Drivers License
Summary
Docusign Identity Verification now supports verifying a recipient's identity with a mobile driver's license (US and Puerto Rico) stored in Apple Wallet. Recipients can complete a secure, one-tap verification experience instead of manually uploading an image of an ID.
Why it matters
Manual ID uploads add friction to onboarding, increase abandonment, and can expose workflows to fraudulent physical documents. Apple Wallet verification provides a faster, higher-trust experience using a state-issued mobile driver's license and cryptographic verification.
What's new
- A new mobile driver's license method is available in the Identity Verification method-selection experience.
- Recipients can verify using a same-device iOS mobile web flow or a cross-device desktop flow using a QR code.
- The experience uses the W3C Digital Credentials API and the ISO/IEC 18013 protocol, with selective disclosure of verified attributes from a mobile driver's license.
- Apple Wallet verification supports existing ID Evidence, Certificate of Completion, Envelope History, Connect events, and IDV Attempt Report surfaces.
- When Apple Wallet is unavailable, recipients can use an alternative Identity Verification method configured for the workflow.
- The ID Evidence experience follows existing data-minimization patterns. A photo of the ID is not stored.
Benefits
- Reduce verification friction: Let eligible recipients verify their identity in a few taps.
- Improve completion rates: Replace manual document capture with a streamlined wallet-based experience.
- Reduce fraud risk: Use state-issued mobile credentials with cryptographic proof.
- Support compliance workflows: Provide audit-ready identity evidence through existing Docusign Identity Verification reporting and evidence surfaces.
- Give recipients more control: Selective disclosure limits the information shared to what is required for verification.
Availability
All customers using Docusign Identity Verification products can select this ID verification method.
However, for this release, Mobile Driver's License is available for selection in the United States and Puerto Rico only.
Rollout schedule
- Demo environment: mid-October 2026.
- Production environment: end of November 2026.
How to enable or configure
Administrators can manage ID type selections from the Identity Verification configuration settings in Docusign Admin.
This method is enabled by default in the system-owned workflow configuration.
Enhanced Permissions for Document Templates
You can now set access for individual Document Templates. This helps organizations decide who can manage or use each template without changing access for every template in the account.
Why it matters
Previously, access to Document Templates was controlled for the whole account, so people could use all templates or none. With this update, template owners can share only the templates people need, helping teams collaborate securely while keeping other templates protected.
How to enable
- Administrators go to Document Templates, and select a template.
- Use the new Share option to give specific users or groups permission to Manage or Use the template.
- The higher level of access applies when users have their access levels determined through a permission profile as well as an individual document template setting.
Limitations and notes
This release focuses on core sharing, editing, and usage permissions. Notifications upon access change and audit logs are planned for future phases.
Rollout schedule

Certified Copy Now Delivered to Recipients by Default (11/10/2026)
signNow Web now delivers completed QES and NOM-151 documents as verifiable signed copies, with NOM-151 certificates included. When multiple files are involved, downloads arrive in a ZIP archive to preserve signature integrity, while in-progress documents and document-list downloads remain unchanged.
When a document is signed with a qualified electronic signature (QES) or NOM-151, recipients now get a copy with that signature intact, so they can verify it themselves in Adobe Acrobat Reader or a public validation service. Once every signer has completed the document, this copy comes from the Thank You page right after signing, from the document page opened through the View Document link in the completion email, and from the completion email itself, whether the document is attached or linked. NOM-151 documents now come with their .asn1 certificate file.
There is nothing new to click: the same download returns the verifiable file. A signed PDF can't be changed without breaking its signature, so when there is more than one file — the audit trail, uploaded attachments, the NOM-151 certificate, or the documents of a group — they now come as separate files in a .zip archive instead of one merged PDF. In the completion email, a qualified document always arrives as one .zip archive, and the document ID is no longer printed on the emailed copy. Documents still in progress, and downloads from the documents list, work as before.

Retrieve fields for Document Groups and Document Group Templates
signNow API now lets developers retrieve field layouts for entire Document Groups and templates in a single call, including document order, roles, and field configuration details. This makes it easier to review fields and identify what to prefill before sending an invite.
You can now read the field layout of an entire Document Group or Document Group Template in a single API call, instead of requesting each document separately.
- New: GET /v2/document-group-templates/{dgt_id} returns the template, its documents in order, and their roles.
- Extended: GET /v2/document-groups/{dg_id} now accepts documents.fields in the include parameter.
Add include=documents.fields to either request to retrieve documents[].fields. Each field uses the same object structure as GET /document/{document_id}, including type, role, and json_attributes (position, size, required, name, label, and prefilled text).
Without this parameter, fields are not returned.
This update makes it easier to check field configurations and identify which fields to pre-fill before sending an invite.

signNow Integrations by signNow
Power Automate Now Supports Workspace Team Folders
signNow Integrations expands its Power Automate connector with Workspace Team Folder support, new folder discovery and move actions, and folder details in responses. The update is awaiting Microsoft certification before the capabilities become available in US and EU regions.
The SignNow Power Automate connector now recognizes Workspace Team Folders across all relevant actions. You can select documents, templates, document groups, and document group templates stored in shared team folders directly from the connector's pickers — no workarounds or manual copying required. A new folder picker surfaces both your personal folders and every Workspace Team Folder you belong to, so you can build automation flows against shared team content as seamlessly as private content. Two new actions — Get Folders and Move to Folder — give your flows the ability to discover folder structures at runtime and organize items into the right team locations automatically.
When you configure any action that references a document or document group, the picker now includes Workspace Team Folder content alongside your personal items. The Get Document List, Get Document Groups, and Get Document Information actions return folder and team details for each item, so your flows can identify where shared content lives. The Move to Folder action lets you place documents, templates, and groups into any folder your team manages, with optional settings for moving related items together. All existing flows continue to work without edits — the update only adds new actions, inputs, and response fields. Once Microsoft certifies the updated connector, the new capabilities become available in both US and EU regions.

Informative Empty States for Template Folders (10/6/2026)
signNow Web adds a guided empty state for blank Templates folders, including the root folder and subfolders, to help users understand templates and get started faster. It also opens the uploader from the CTA, adds a “See how templates save time” option, and supports mobile file picking.
SignNow now displays a dedicated empty state when you open a templates folder that contains no templates yet. This applies to both the root Templates folder and any subfolders you create, giving you clear guidance on what templates are and how they can streamline your document workflows. Once you create your first template in a folder, the empty state automatically transitions to your template list.
When you open an empty templates folder, you see an informative illustration, a brief explanation, and a clear call to action to get started. Selecting the CTA opens the uploader, where a new "See how templates save time" menu option helps you understand the value of templates before you begin. On mobile, you can tap the Upload button to open your device's file picker directly. This guided experience ensures you always know your next step when working with templates.
