Oh yes, we added the binder tree view in Zefort Sign too!
When adding a target binder for the contract, you can still select it from the dropdown list, but now you can also open the binder tree view. This helps users to find the correct binder.
And, as usual, every user will only see those binders to which they have the permission + binders that are defined as signature targets.
We have added a new feature in Zefort Sign: the signature party can now type a reason for declining the signature request.
After clicking the “Decline” button, a window is opened with question “Are you sure that you want to decline signing of the document”. The signature party may write a message before rejecting the contract.
The signature owner will see the message in the sign process as well as in the notification email from Zefort.
Note that after declining the signer is not able to sign the document anymore.
You can now search for contracts that are missing a specific party role as well as contracts with multiple party roles!
This is especially useful when you want to check and supplement the party metadata in your contracts.
Searching contracts missing a party role
- Open the filters and navigate to Party role
- Select the party role and then click on the box
Box turns into pink, and you will see all contracts that don’t have any party with the selected role.
Searching contracts with multiple party roles
- Open the filters and navigate to Party role
- Select the party role and then add another party role
As a result you get all contracts that include all the specified party roles.
Pro tip!
You can also mix these two features: search for example contracts that have a party with role “My organization” but are missing “Counterparty”
We have added a binder tree view in the binder management! Click the icon next to Root to open the binder tree view, then click the arrows to see the sub-binders.
Note! Users can still only see those binders to which they have permission. Only admin with permission “can manage all content” can see the full binder structure.
It is now possible to create one document for signing by merging the main document with the attachments. In the last page of Zefort Sign process, tick on the option “Merge attachments and signed document“.
After signing, all documents included in the signature request will be converted into one signed PDF file.
In Zefort, the signed PDF will be the main document of the contract. The original file and attachment are archived, and you can find them in the Files tab by toggling on the option “Show archived“.
The default binders functionality and visibility has been improved.
Default binders displayed
When uploading a new contract to my.zefort  (either using button “Sign document” or “Add contract“), you will now see if there are default binders to which the contract will be added. The default binders can also be skipped if needed, just simply remove it from the binder list when uploading the contract.
Note that contracts won’t be added to any default binders when sending contracts to Zefort by email or when dragging and dropping to the contracts desktop.

You asked and we delivered: the authentication requirement before viewing documents can now be set for each signing party separately!
You can for example require pre-authentication only for external users and allow users in your Zefort account open the documents  without need to authenticate beforehand.
When adding the signature parties, click the box “Authenticate before viewing documents” and select the authentication method as usual: either 2-factor authentication with SMS or strong authentication with bank ID can be used.
These signature parties need to authenticate themselves before they can view and sign the documents.
