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

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) — and 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
