This article is only for customers using the prep-and-send version of Dropbox Sign from October 25, 2022 or earlier. |
You can test upcoming Dropbox Sign features with the Dropbox Sign API pre-rebranded prep-and-send editor. These features can be activated and deactivated on your account, so you can test new features without any interruption to your existing workflows.
There are two methods available to test upcoming features:
- Embedded URL method
- Feature endpoint method
If you would like to be added as tester for the embedded requesting workflow, please reach out to us by creating a support ticket with our API team.
How to test upcoming features with the embedded URL method
This method activates the feature for a single embedded requesting workflow.
To use this method to test upcoming features:
- Obtain a claim_url.
-
Append the following string to the end of the claim_url:
&feature=edit-v2
- Use the claim_url as usual. This will load the new design in the embedded window.
- Note: Omitting &feature=editor-v2 will load the old design in the embedded window.
How to test upcoming features with the feature endpoint method
This method activates a feature for a single account for a set period of time. The new feature can be activated and deactivated with an endpoint, omitting the need to change the embedded URL.
- Send a PUT request to https://api.hellosign.com/v3/feature, with the following body:
{
“name”: “editor-v2”,
“activated”:true
}
- This will activate the new design for 30 minutes. If a longer session is needed, there is an optional minutes_active field which can manually set the number of minutes that the new design will be active.
- When obtaining a claim_url, the requester_email_address must be the account which activated the feature on the endpoint.
- The design will switch back to the old design either when the timer runs out, or if the activated field of the endpoint is set to false.
