It arrives with many time-saving, ease of use and security enhancements to ensure a great user experience (UX).  ### **![SigningHub Winter '17 Release](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/511375/hubfs/blog-files/Winter17-BannerWinter17.jpg?width=731&name=Winter17-BannerWinter17.jpg "SigningHub Winter '17 Release")** ## **SigningHub Winter '17 release updates:** ### Enhanced signing capabilities to meet EU eIDAS Level 2 "sole control" requirements SigningHub's Winter '17 release offers a major new capability to meet the [EU eIDAS Regulation](https://www.signinghub.com/eidas-regulation/) requirements for remote (server-side) signing. Specifically, it meets the Level 2 “Sole Control” requirements which prove that a centrally held signing key was only used for signing under instruction from its owner. To achieve this, the SigningHub [iOS](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/signinghub-fast-effective/id530067405?mt=8) and [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.signinghub&hl=en) apps have been enhanced to support a secure PKI-based protocol with the SigningHub Server to authorise the remote signing operation. The authorisation PKI key pair is stored in the secure hardware element of the user’s mobile device. ![Enhance signing meeting EU EIDAS regulations](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/511375/hubfs/blog-files/ACF.png?width=1395&name=ACF.png "Enhance signing meeting EU EIDAS regulations")   ### Improved authentication - SigningHub login interface has been enhanced to allow the use of OTP via SMS as an additional two factor authentication method for login as an alternative to the use of SAML-based external Identity Providers (IPs) - SigningHub login now also supports user authentication via Google and LinkedIn credentials, additional web-based identity providers will be supported in future releases - SigningHub Admin console enhancements: ![SigningHub desktop login options](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/511375/hubfs/blog-files/Login.png?width=506&name=Login.png "SigningHub desktop login options")     ### More filters, folders, integrations and optimisations SigningHub Web enhancements: - Create custom folders enabling better organisation of documents - Support for Microsoft OneDrive in addition to Google Drive and Dropbox - Show unseen or recently updated documents at the top of the document listing page - New document filter for "Expiring in seven days" - Enable bulk import of contacts via CSV while preparing a document - Support for changing a document template placeholder to the current “logged-in” user - Allow applying of a template for the “Only Me” workflow - Allow the merging of documents directly from the Start New Workflow screen - Additional status and actions email notifications for all users that have interacted with a document - Document rendering time has been significantly reduced  ![SigningHub more Filters, Folders, Integrations and Optimizations](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/511375/hubfs/blog-files/Folder.png?width=731&name=Folder.png "SigningHub more Filters, Folders, Integrations and Optimizations") ### Enhanced viewer and preparation SigningHub Web Viewer enhancements: - Sign a document in draft mode by double clicking the signature box and then share with others  - Easily align signature boxes and form fields using grid lines during document preparation - Embed form fields into a PDF document at the time of sharing - Set placeholder content for Text fields - Show form field attributes as set within the PDF document e.g. colour, font, date format etc. - Scroll the thumbnails as the user scrolls the document and vice versa - New recipient role for receiving a copy of signed documents at the end or during the signing workflow  ![Enhanced Viewer and Preparation](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/511375/hubfs/blog-files/Grid.png?width=599&name=Grid.png "Enhanced Viewer and Preparation")   ### Improved installer SigningHub installer enhancements: - Support the installation of Mobile Web and Microsoft Office App - Allow the changing of database username or password that have been configured in installation   [**Ask**](https://info.signinghub.com/contact-us)about our new and enhanced REST APIs **[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/software/e-signature/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 Winter '17 release by providing your feedback [here](https://info.signinghub.com/contact-us).
