Details

We've improved how hyperlinks work in the Legal Hub! Previously, when users clicked on hyperlinks within Legal Hub pages, they would be redirected in the same tab, forcing them to navigate back to continue reading the original content.

Now, users can configure hyperlinks in Legal Hub pages to open in new tabs, allowing users to seamlessly reference multiple pages simultaneously without losing their place in the original document.

How to Enable: This improvement will soon go live for all customers accessing the Legal Hub.

You can now download DocuSign audit trails directly from SpotDraft CLM!

Previously, users had to log into their DocuSign account and search for contracts to download audit trails. This created unnecessary friction and delays.

Now, simply:

1. Navigate to the contract
2. Click the 3-dots menu
3. Select "Download Audit Trail"

This brings DocuSign-signed contracts in line with our native eSign functionality, creating a consistent experience regardless of which signing method you use.

How to Enable: Available to all customers using DocuSign integration. No setup required!

 Product Area:Audit Logs

 Impact of Change: Quality of Life Improvement

 Roles Impacted: All users in Indian time zone

Details

We've made a small but meaningful improvement to how time is displayed in audit logs for our Indian customers!

Previously, timestamps for users in the Indian time zone would display as "GMT+5:30" in most cases within the audit logs & a few other places. We've enhanced this to now consistently show "IST" (Indian Standard Time) instead for anyone who's local timezone is set to GMT+5:30

This update provides better regional clarity and a more localized experience for our Indian customers, making it easier to quickly interpret audit log timestamps without manual conversion.

How to Enable: This update has been automatically rolled out to all users in the Indian time zone (GMT+5:30)

Details

Ever downloaded a legal document from our Legal Hub and later wondered which version it was? Or struggled to find that exact version again on the Legal Center? We've got you covered!

Problem Addressed:

Previously, when users downloaded agreements like privacy policies from the Legal Hub, the PDF had no reference to which version it was or how to find that specific version on the Legal Center. This created confusion when users needed to reference or verify the exact version they were working with.

Solution Overview: We've added a smart hyperlink with version details in the footer of every downloaded document! Now, when you download any agreement from the Legal Hub, you'll see a clickable link in the document footer that takes you directly to that specific version on the Legal Center.

Key Benefits:

• Easy Reference: Instantly identify which version of a document you're looking at
• Quick Navigation: One click takes you back to the source version on the Legal Center
• Better Traceability: Maintain clear connections between downloaded files and their source versions
• Foolproof Documentation: Never lose track of where your legal documents came from

How to Enable: This feature will be automatically rolled out to all clickthrough agreements on 2nd April, and all existing documents are retroactively supported. No action needed on your part!

 Product Area: Contract Preview, Contract Details Page

 Impact of Change: Quality of Life Improvement

 Roles Impacted: All users

Details

We've introduced a simple but powerful new feature that lets you view different versions of your contract directly from the contract preview.

• Version Dropdown: Users now have two viewing options in the contract preview:
• Published Version: The last officially published version of the contract
• Draft Version: The latest saved edits, even if they haven't been published yet

Problem Addressed:

Previously, when users made edits and saved them without publishing, these changes were only visible by reopening the editor. This created unnecessary back-and-forth between views when users needed to reference their recent changes. With our new version dropdown, you'll experience:

• Time-Saving: No more switching between preview and editor to check your recent edits
• Clarity: Easily identify what's changed between published and draft versions
• Better Collaboration: Show colleagues your in-progress changes without publishing them

 How to enable: This improvement is available to all users.

We've made a small update to our upload experience! The upload modal is now a sidepanel for all flows:

• Upload for review
• Upload and sign
• Upload executed

This small change is made to align with our design system for a more consistent experience.

 Product Area: Contract Approvals, Slack Integration

 Impact of Change: New Functionality

 Roles Impacted: All users who receive approval requests

Details

What’s changing?

Users can now approve contracts directly from Slack without having to visit SpotDraft! The Slack App will send a notification each time an approval is requested, and users can take action right from the message.

Users can Approve :white_check_mark:, Reject :x: with a note, or View a contract as before--all from the Slack notification. Watch the video to see it in action :video_camera:

Why this matters

Problem Solved:

Previously, approvers had to click “View Contract” and navigate to app.spotdraft.com to approve or reject contracts. This was particularly cumbersome for mobile users, and users on-the-go.

With most approval information already visible in Slack notifications, we’ve eliminated unnecessary steps by adding direct action buttons to speed up the approval process.

Who benefits?

• This feature is especially valuable for:
• Executives who need to approve contracts quickly while on the go
• Business users who spend significant time in Slack and not as much on SpotDraft
• Mobile users who need to complete approvals away from their desks

How to use it

Receive notification: When you’re assigned as an approver, you’ll get a Slack message with contract details

Take action: Click “Approve” to instantly approve, or “Reject” to add rejection notes

That’s it! The message will update to show the completed action.

How to Enable: This feature will be rolled out gradually. Important note is that your Slack admin will have to reinstall the Slack App.

Finding related documents just got a whole lot easier! We've streamlined how you access related documents directly from the contract list.

Problem Addressed:

Previously, users had to click on the Related Documents icon to view related contracts, creating an unnecessary extra step. The old visual also lacked crucial context like document status and counterparty information, making it difficult to quickly assess related contracts.

Solution Overview:

We've transformed this experience with two key improvements:

Hover to View: Simply hover over the Related Documents icon to instantly see all related contracts - no more clicking required!

Enhanced Information Display: The redesigned hover view now shows comprehensive information including document status, counterparty details, and contract name - all aligned with how this information appears on the contract details page.

This update creates a more consistent, intuitive experience that saves you time and provides better context when navigating between related contracts.

How to Enable: This improvement is available to all users.
