In-App Notifications, Configurable Reply-To, Locker Folders & Locker API Mutations

PlatformeSignatureAPI

This week's release rolls out platform-wide in-app notifications, configurable Reply-To headers for signing emails, document folders and a new activity log in Locker, and a fresh set of Locker API endpoints for updating and deleting documents.

Platform

  • In-App Bell Notifications. A new platform-wide notification system powers the bell icon in the dashboard top-right. The bell shows an unread badge with a popover for quick triage (per-row dismiss, mark-all-read) and a full-page /notifications view for longer history. Notifications coalesce duplicates via a (userId, dedupeKey) strategy so a noisy source can't bury the rest, and users can silence individual categories from their notification preferences.

Email & Branding

  • Configurable Reply-To for Signing Emails. Brands can now set a Reply-To mode: DEFAULT (platform), STATIC (a fixed alias and name on the brand), or OWNER (the agreement owner). Individual agreements and templates can override the Reply-To at send time from the Send wizard and template editor. Reply-To is applied across every send-time email touchpoint: invitation, reminder, completion, download, and decline notifications.

Propper Sign Enhancements

  • Default Tag Sizes. Users can now set preferred default dimensions for each tag type. After resizing a tag in the Size & Position panel, click Set as default size. Newly placed tags of that type (whether drag-and-drop or click-to-place) inherit your saved dimensions, and the defaults persist across sessions. Each tag type maintains its own default.
  • Preserve Form Field Values During Annotation Conversion. Document uploads now expose a valueHandling option that lets you choose whether existing PDF form-field values are preserved on the annotation or stamped onto the document at conversion time, so previously filled PDFs don't lose their values when they're brought into a Sign agreement.
  • Wizard Auto-Save No Longer Wipes Template Tabs. Fixed a regression where the Send wizard's auto-save could clear tags applied to a template. Template tabs now survive auto-save reliably.
  • Reminders Skip AWAITING_TURN Recipients. Reminder emails are no longer sent to recipients who are waiting their turn in a sequential signing order, eliminating confusing "please sign" emails to people whose turn hasn't come up yet.
  • Healing Corrupt Template Annotations. A background cleanup now repairs templates that were left with malformed annotations, and the underlying writers that produced them have been fixed so new corruption can't occur.
  • Sharper PDF Checkboxes and Text. Improved how PDF checkboxes and text fields are rendered during conversion for cleaner, more consistent output on the signed document.
  • Consistent Date Formatting. Dates on the agreement details page are now formatted consistently across every row and panel.
  • Cleaner Tag Editor Inspector. Auto-filled and formula fields no longer show duplicate Text Style panels in the tag editor. The inspector now shows a single, correct Text Style section per field.

Propper Locker

  • Document Folders. Locker documents can now be organized into folders, with create, rename, and delete, drag-and-drop into folders, nested browsing with breadcrumbs, bulk move-to-folder, and folder document counts. The folder sidebar supports expand/collapse all and the current folder is reflected in the URL. Learn about Locker
  • Tabbed Document Detail Page. The document detail page now uses a tabbed layout with the active tab persisted in the URL (?tab=). Tabs hide automatically when a section has no items, so the experience stays clean for documents that haven't been processed.
  • Locker Settings Page. A new Settings area lets administrators set document defaults (retention, access level, default tags) and configure notification preferences. Settings tabs are gated by your organization's entitlements.
  • Activity & Audit Log. A new filterable Activity view shows document views and downloads, giving administrators a per-org audit trail of how documents are being accessed.
  • Signed Agreements Always Flow to Locker. Only signed agreements now propagate from Propper Sign into Locker, keeping in-progress drafts out of your document set.

Locker API

  • PATCH /v1/locker/documents/:id. Update document metadata (name, description, tags, documentType, folderId) with partial JSON payloads. Gated by the locker:write scope; cross-tenant requests return 404. API reference
  • DELETE /v1/locker/documents/:id. Soft-delete a document by default (sets archivedAt). Pass ?purge=true to hard-delete the document along with all related records and the underlying blob. Purge requires the locker:admin scope and runs as a single transactional cascade.
  • Multipart Uploads on POST /v1/locker/documents/upload. The upload endpoint is now content-type-aware: JSON requests continue to accept base64-encoded content, and multipart/form-data requests now stream binary uploads directly with a 50 MB cap and a MIME allowlist.

Sign API

  • Cleaner 400s on Invalid IDs. sign-api now validates envelopeId and recipientId as UUIDs before reaching the database, returning a clean 400 instead of an opaque Prisma error when an obviously invalid ID is passed.
  • Pass-Through Status on Docusign-Compat Errors. The Docusign-compatibility error handler now propagates upstream BFF error statuses correctly, so clients see the right status code (e.g., 404, 403) instead of a generic 500 when the underlying call fails.
  • Stricter Template Recipient Validation. Creating an agreement from a template now returns a 400 with a clear error when the recipient count doesn't match the template's required roles, instead of failing later in the send pipeline.
  • Non-ASCII Filenames in Downloads. The BFF now sanitizes Content-Disposition filenames so documents with accented or non-Latin names download cleanly instead of returning a 500.
  • Refreshed Click API OpenAPI Spec. The OpenAPI spec for Click endpoints has been corrected and refreshed. Security schemes and endpoint definitions now match the live service, so generated SDKs and the API reference stay in sync. API reference
