What the notice says
Microsoft’s text, safely structuredAs communicated in 168828 (Updated) SharePoint eSignature electronic signature service (published November 2024, updated March 2025), SharePoint eSignature is Microsoft's first party electronic signature service which allows users to easily request eSignatures on a PDF document via SharePoint online. Signers can easily add their electronic signature. Signed documents are saved securely back to SharePoint.
Before this rollout, when users request an eSignature using the native SharePoint eSignature capability on a PDF, users must wait for their request to complete processing before creating an additional request.
After this rollout, users will be able to create additional requests without needing to wait for the previous request to complete sending.
When this will happen
General Availability: We will begin rolling out mid-April 2025 and expect to complete by late May 2025 to these regions.
How this will affect your organization
After this rollout, new toast notifications will inform users of the processing state of requests. Users can access the in-progress PDF through the toast notification.
This change will be on by default.
What you need to do to prepare
This rollout will happen automatically by the specified dates with no admin action required before the rollout. Please notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation.
