Upcoming Changes for BankID Signing WYSIWYS¶

Upcoming changes (breaking and non-breaking) in BankID Signing WYSIWYS.

The changes might concern the WYSIWYS API, the WYSIWYS User Interface or both.

Planned Changes¶

(UI, non-breaking) Merchant name on index page¶

The name of the merchant that created the sign order will be shown to the signing user on the index page (first page).

This will be 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).

(API, non-breaking) Increased Document Size - Released 2026-03-19 (PreProd: 2026-03-12)¶

This change will increase the allowed size of PDF documents in a sign order.

(API, non-breaking) Return of SignerInfo - Released 2026-03-05¶

This change will add content to the already existing signerInfo field in the PAdES-V1-API´s DELETE-call.

It will contain a JSON Web Token signer information if the data was requested during sign order creation.

(API + UI, non-breaking) Improved redirect-URL communication - Released 2026-02-18¶

This change will be addressing merchant concerns that users might get "stuck" on the finish/download page and could close their browser instead of returning to the merchant´s website.

The API will accept a parameter 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".

(API + UI, non-breaking) Improved support for merchant-side workflows - Released 2026-02-18¶

This change is designed to help guide the user through merchant-side workflows consisting of multiple persons signing the same documents.

The API will accept an additional parameter 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.
