This release includes plenty of useful enhancements and new features for user authentication, local signing and security, all designed to help deliver great business value. ## SigningHub Spring '17 release updates: ### Enhanced login screen and privacy - Introducing a simplified two-step login screen for added convenience and security - User email address dictates the preferred or required authentication method - Corporate identity provider (IdP) details are displayed when associated email is identified - Enterprise Admins can now map authentication policies with user roles - Additional support for TLS client authentication ![1-2.png](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/511375/hubfs/1-2.png?width=656&height=417&name=1-2.png)    ![](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/511375/hubfs/blog-files/SH-Login3.png?width=647&height=212&name=SH-Login3.png "SH-Login3.png")   ### Self help guides for advanced users  - A new popup message will appear after login for users that have selected “[Local Signing](https://blog.signinghub.com/local-signing-with-smartcards-just-got-a-little-easier)” in signature settings, It will help when setting up and installing Go>Sign Desktop – a middleware component required to support *local* signing using eID cards, smartcards or USB tokens. ![](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/511375/hubfs/blog-files/Test%20LocalSigning.png?width=861&height=290&name=Test%20LocalSigning.png "Test LocalSigning.png") - Once set up, SigningHub will confirm that Go>Sign Desktop is installed and running and you can proceed to test. ![](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/511375/hubfs/blog-files/Test%20LocalSigning2.png?width=855&height=373&name=Test%20LocalSigning2.png "Test LocalSigning2.png") - If Go>Sign Desktop is not running the user is prompted to download and install. - **Note:** Go>Sign Desktop supports silent installation over your network ![](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/511375/hubfs/blog-files/Test%20LocalSigning3.png?width=860&height=292&name=Test%20LocalSigning3.png "Test LocalSigning3.png") ### Better time zone management  - SigningHub now automatically detects and sets the user's country and time zone, using IP location - User is prompted when such a change is detected - Support for additional date formats and time zones: - 20+ date formats are now supported, including US and European formats - Signature appearance now shows the user's local time zone ![Location-Dialog.png](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/511375/hubfs/blog-files/Location-Dialog.png?width=618&height=234&name=Location-Dialog.png)  ### Simplified package naming - In SigningHub v7.0 we introduced the feature to support "packages". This feature enabled sending multiple documents to users for signing, reviewing, meeting-host and editing. The package feature had a limitation of being able to choose a meaningful package name. Now a complex package name like *contract, non-disclosure agreement, tender 2017* can be re-named as *Contract-Agreement-2017* while the package is still in draft mode.    ![Rename.png](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/511375/hubfs/blog-files/Rename.png?width=618&height=205&name=Rename.png)     ### Viewer enhancements Multiple enhancements have been made to the SigningHub document viewer: - Zoom controls enable a more detailed review of large or detailed PDF documents such as engineering drawings, maps & medical diagrams etc.     ![8-2.png](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/511375/hubfs/8-2.png?width=179&height=215&name=8-2.png) - Only a few of our customers wanted to place initial fields on every page of the document but this was a hassle for signers. There is now an option in both draft and pending modes to automatically complete multiple initial fields within a document with one action.     ![Apply-Initials.png](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/511375/hubfs/blog-files/Apply-Initials.png?width=620&height=515&name=Apply-Initials.png) - If the correct signature appearance has not been configured within *settings* it is now possible to choose the desired signature appearance at the time of signing.     ![Sign.png](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/511375/hubfs/blog-files/Sign.png?width=618&height=585&name=Sign.png) ### Flexible on-screen notifications - Choose which type of notifications are shown, configured within user settings. - **Note:** On-screen notifications are accessible from the top right notification icon. ![icon.png](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/511375/hubfs/icon.png?width=35&height=34&name=icon.png) ![Notifications.png](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/511375/hubfs/blog-files/Notifications.png?width=731&height=440&name=Notifications.png) ### Additional enterprise control - One of SigningHub's hallmarks is that it provides powerful management controls. Now user activity and API logs can be accessed with the click of a button. This is helpful for auditing purposes and tracking both user and application activities.     **[Login](https://web.signinghub.com/)** to your SigningHub account **[Register](https://web.signinghub.com/Register?planId=30)** for a free SigningHub trial account [**Write**](https://www.g2crowd.com/products/signinghub/reviews) a SigningHub review We strive to meet the changing needs of our valued customers. Let us know your thoughts on the latest SigningHub Spring '17 release by providing your feedback [here](https://info.signinghub.com/contact-us).
