Release Notes for BankID Signing WYSIWYS

Noteworthy changes in BankID Signing WYSIWYS.

Only important bugfixes, API changes and new features are listed here.

WYSIWYS API Releases

2026-04-29

Added showing of the merchant name on the index page (first page).

This is done automatically for all sign orders and does not require any merchant-side actions. The name registered to the merchant´s client and provided with the access token will be used for this (field clientName in the token).

2026-03-19 (PreProd: 2026-03-12)

  • Increased the allowed size of PDF documents in a PAdES sign order to 10 MB per document (Base64-encoded size).

2026-03-05

  • Added content to the already existing signerInfo field in the PAdES-V1-API´s DELETE-call. It contains a JSON Web Token signer information if the data was requested during sign order creation.

2026-02-18

  • Added new field signProperties.continueButtonTargetText to the PAdES-V1-API that will enable merchants to influence how the "Continue"-button on the finish-page is labelled. This way it will be possible to add a target to be displayed in the UI, e.g. by adding "MyMerchant´s Portal". Instead of "Continue" the button would be labelled "Continue to MyMerchant´s Portal".
  • Added new field signProperties.merchantWorkflowState to the PAdES-V1-API that allows WYSIWYS to differentiate between a stand-alone sign order and a merchant workflow. For stand-alone sign orders nothing will change. If a sign order is marked as part of a workflow, the WYSIWYS UI will show a notification on the finish page that will remind the user that others still have to sign and they should download the final documents from the merchant´s website when everyone has signed.
  • Slightly reduced the base-seal-size used for seal-position-validations to make defining a valid position easier. Note: The actual seal size remains unchanged.

2026-01-18

  • Fixed HTTP-500 error when calling GET endpoints (e.g. /v1/signdoc/pades).
  • Corrected validation of seal position parameter to allow closer positioning on the Y-axis.

WYSIWYS (User Interface) Releases

2026-04-29 (version 5.3.0)

  • Translated the failure and the success page to Norwegian when the language is set to Norwegian. The "failure" and "success" pages are now "feil" and "oppsummering" respectfully.
  • If the document does not have a ".pdf" in the description or name, we add it to the file name when it is downloaded by the user
  • The merchant name is now visible on the index page of the app.
  • The timed out state is now handled as should be and shows a proper message to the user when the session has timed out.
  • Switching language when signing big documents should now work better. We have added a loading spinner to show that the app is working on switching the language and we have also optimized the code to make it faster.

2026-03-19 (PreProd: 2026-03-12) (version 4.6.3)

  • Make sure the app can handle big documents by only loading the first 15 pages and then lazy loading the rest of the document when the user scrolls down.

2026-03-05 (version 4.6.1)

  • The warning message about attachments on a document have been toned down.
  • The continue button on the success page can only be clicked once to prevent multiple requests being sent.
  • Added an error_code parameter if it is present to the redirect URL when an error occurs during signing. This will allow merchants to handle errors better on their side.

2026-02-18

  • Implementation of the new API fields mentioned above.
  • In case of errors during the signing process the same error code that is shown to the user in the front-end will be returned as parameter with the callback URL to the merchant.

2026-01-15

  • Added dark-mode to the application (activation based on system preferences).
