Sandbox Release Notes

These release notes only pertain to the Sandbox environment. These updates are not yet released to production environments, and you may still encounter bugs when previewing these features in your sandbox. Sertifi releases bug fixes and enhancements to the Sandbox environment for at least one week before releasing the features into production. During this time frame, you can conduct your own testing of these features and report any issues you experience back to Sertifi.

Additionally, not every feature contained in a sandbox release will automatically appear in the production release at least a week later. If any bugs or other issues are discovered during the sandbox testing period, it can prevent a feature from entering into production. For the latest information about Sertifi production releases, see Release Notes.

If you have any questions about the sandbox releases or want to inquire about receiving your own Sertifi Sandbox, contact our support team.

Sandbox 2423 (December 2023)

  • If an Additional Input Field was enabled, but left blank, in Default Sending Options, a user would receive multiple error messages. This has been fixed. (ESIG-2376)

  • Occasionally, when a new participant was added to a folder, they would receive an invitation email even if they hadn't been assigned a task to complete. This has been fixed and no longer occurs. (ESIG-2389)

  • If one participant had completed their requested actions, and a different participant hadn't completed their actions but was subsequently removed from the folder, the authorization request record would nevertheless remain in the Pending status. This has been fixed; the authorization record now defaults to the Needs Attention status in this situation. (AUTH-1339)

  • Available folder actions were sometimes incorrect, depending on if the folder contain a payment, an authorization request, or both. This has been fixed. (AUTH-1391)

  • Previously, a bug would cause documents to displayed with an incorrect status in the push notification queue. This has been fixed and no longer occurs (ESIG-2380)

Next-Gen
  • In the View Folders page, some folders were being marked as Partially Signed even if their signature documents had been fully signed. This has been fixed. (ESIG-2377)

  • Previously, a bug would sometimes result in a participant upload request being required, even if it was left as optional by the folder owner.

This has been fixed and no longer occurs; a participant upload will only be required if explicitly marked as such. (ESIG-2345)

  • If an error occurred when accessing a payment, sometimes a user would be stuck on a blank window with no indication on how to proceed. This has been fixed; an error message now appears if one occurs when accessing a payment. (ESIG-2335)

  • If an admin added a new first level participant to a folder, the new participant would sometimes be displayed with a time and date in the Last Invited field, even if they hadn't been sent an invitation to complete a task. This has been fixed. (ESIG-2075)

  • When opening the Tasks page from the dashboard, some users reported receiving a 500 error. This was caused by a server error that has since been fixed. (ESIG-2139)
