We've recently made the Workflow Status option available in the Workflow Simulator. When testing a workflow, click the 'View Status Log' button to see the history of a form during the workflow process including step-by-step details of the document's workflow and comments made by reviewers.  

Workflow builders can use this new feature to verify their testing steps, creating an even more seamless experience throughout the testing process.

 Expand form possibilities with the recently released image gadget, empowering users to upload images as part of form submission.  

Our newly released PDF export allows you to now save completed form submissions as PDFs. 

Export form submissions with all submitted information, workflow history, comments, or a combination of any components. In addition, Build administrators can now set up integrations to trigger PDF exports in order to archive forms in campus Enterprise Content Management systems.

Newly released this week, put your approval in 'ink' with our newly released Signature Gadget, allowing you to request the eSignature of a form submitter or reviewer during the form submission or workflow processes. 

Submitters or reviewers have the option to type, draw, or upload an image of their signature.

Unleash your inner John Hancock with the soon to be released Signature Gadget, allowing you to request the signature of a form submitter or reviewer during the form submission or workflow processes. 

Submitters or reviewers have the option to type, draw, or upload an image of their signature.

We’re excited to announce that the latest updates to the form builder are now active in your apps. Here are some of the things to look forward to in this update:

• Nested sections are easier to see and troubleshoot
• Labels are always in blue and stand out better from the gadget content
• There is better padding and spacing around elements
• The fonts are easier to read
• There are fewer horizontal lines in the form, making it easier to read

We hope you enjoy these improvements and that they make your forms easier to build and to use.

We've recently completed some improvements that will make form editing and submitting much clearer.

These improvements will also make it clearer when sections are nested inside each other. When this change goes live, we encourage you to review all your forms and make sure everything looks the way you want it. Even though Halloween is coming, we don't want you to be surprised. 🎃 

You can even get a sneak preview of these changes now by adding "?newformsui" right after the /builder/ in your browser address bar. Just navigate to the form you want to preview and edit the URL thusly:

These changes will go into effect on Tuesday, Oct 27th.

We've unveiled the latest in our Build Form Controls: View Only Mode and Form Section Overrides. 

These new features give you more control over your forms and allow you to determine who should be able to view or edit certain sections of a form.

Look forward to the following with these new enhancements:

 Builders can freeze critical form information if needed or enable the editing of specific sections as a form is processed by reviewers.

Set edit, view, or hide permissions for reviewers on each form section, at each workflow step.

Now, go on and build great things!

We increased the power of our workflow integration step by enabling Build workflow to wait for an external service to process multiple actions, such as updating campus systems or data sets, prior to the workflow continuing to process. 

With this update, new information can be passed back to Build mid-stream workflow, creating some pretty exciting future automation opportunities.  

We've been working tirelessly to cook up our latest Build concoction, Build Form Controls, which will give builders more controls over editing forms. 

Our latest creation needs a little more time to bake in the oven so we'll be unveiling Form Controls early next week instead of this one. 

We can't wait for you all to taste the power of form controls soon!
