# Changelog

> Latest Nitro Sign Enterprise Verified API updates, new endpoints, and announcements.

Releases roll out to tenant deployments gradually, so features introduced in a newer release are
marked *Available as of NSEV vX.Y* throughout these docs. This page tracks changes to the API and
its documentation - for full product release notes per NSEV version, see the
[NSEV release overview](https://connectivegroup.my.site.com/s/article/NSEV-Release-Overview?language=en_US).

<Update label="July 2026" tags={["v8.5"]}>
  API changes shipping with NSEV v8.5. Everything below is marked
  *Available as of NSEV v8.5.* in the API reference; check your tenant's version (see the tip
  at the bottom of this page) before relying on it.

  Improved endpoints:

  Elements

  * [Create element](/docs/nsev/api-reference/elements/create-element),
    [Create unplaced element](/docs/nsev/api-reference/elements/create-unplaced-element) and
    [Create actor](/docs/nsev/api-reference/actors/create-actor) - new `ComboBoxField` element
    type: a dropdown the end user picks an option from. Options carry a `DisplayLabel` and an
    optional `ExportValue`; the field supports a `DefaultValue`, an `AllowCustomInput` flag
    for free-text entry, and can be bound to an existing PDF combo box via `FieldId` (the
    options then come from the PDF). Returned by all element and actor read endpoints.
  * [Create element](/docs/nsev/api-reference/elements/create-element) and
    [Create unplaced element](/docs/nsev/api-reference/elements/create-unplaced-element) - text box
    fields accept a new `InputType` hint (`Text`, `Date`, `Time`, `DateTime` or `Number`)
    controlling how the text box is rendered and validated on the actor-UI-side. Defaults to `Text`.

  Packages

  * [Create package](/docs/nsev/api-reference/packages/create-package) and
    [Get package](/docs/nsev/api-reference/packages/get-package) - new `DefaultSigningMethods`
    property: package-level default signing methods copied onto every signing field that lacks
    explicitly configured signing methods, at the moment the field is created (however that
    happens). The property is populated only while the package is a draft and is cleared on
    submit. Packages created from a template inherit the source package's defaults.
</Update>

<Update label="July 2026" tags={["v8.4"]}>
  A ground-up revamp of the Nitro Sign Enterprise Verified developer documentation: a rebuilt API
  reference for NSEV v8.4: covering packages, documents, actors, elements, stakeholders,
  substitutes, bulk actions, audit trails, users, and configuration. Plus new getting-started
  guides, tutorials, concept pages, and integration guides.
</Update>

<Tip>
  **Which version does your tenant run?** Ask the version endpoint - no authentication required:

  ```bash theme={null}
  curl https://your-tenant.sign.gonitro.com/esig/webportalapi/v4/version
  ```

  ```json theme={null}
  { "ProductVersion": "8.4.4", "FileVersion": "8.4.4-ef8f69b" }
  ```

  The first two components of `ProductVersion` are the NSEV release - here, v8.4. If a feature
  marked *Available as of NSEV vX.Y* is newer than the version your tenant runs,
  [contact Nitro support](https://connectivegroup.my.site.com/s/contactsupport?language=en_US)
  to ask about the upgrade timeline.
