What's new in this release?

A fresh back end for Quill v2.0

The Quill v2.0 release is a release with a broad technical focus. In order to ensure a future-proof application, Dioss Smart Solutions implemented a thorough optimalization in the technical back end of the application. The “renovation” of the back-end code will offer us and our customers guarantees to deliver a well-performing Quill platform that is adapted to the needs of a cutting-edge digital eSigning platform.

A new user interface

A lean back end goes well together with a neat front end. Quill v2.0 will catch the eye with a fresh look. As an extra, we simplified some menus and did some structural optimizations to improve the customer journey in the application.

Hello mobile

Quill v2.0 delivers you a responsive web design so you can read and/or sign your document on your mobile device whenever you want, wherever you want.

Signature placeholders in documents

In v2.0, it is possible - via the API - to specify a placeholder based on a certain keyword in a document instead of specific X and Y coordinates. From now on you can define a specific - but dynamic - location that will adapt to the structure of your document.

Miscellaneous

• Do you receive many documents you don’t want to sign? Now you can decline in bulk! Choose the documents you don’t want to sign, provide a reason and decline all selected documents.
• Quill v2.0 supports doc and docx file format and while uploading them as a doc(x) file the Quill platform will convert the document automatically into PDF.
• Enriched document editor : we added some new features : e.g. a more smooth way to add (new) signers, the possibility to define a signing method for all signers at once, change some settings in the document-editor-menu.
