To provide customers with more scalable capabilities and strengthen our service infrastructure, LegalOn will migrate the electronic signature platform used by the Sign module from DocuSign to Adobe Acrobat Sign.
As certain specifications will change as a result of this migration, we kindly ask that you review the information below and complete any necessary advance configuration.
Please review the migration overview, schedule, and required actions below and make the necessary preparations.
September 28, 2026 Update Details
Restrictions on email subject lines and messages were applied to signature requests created using DocuSign.
September 24, 2026 Update Details
Starting September 28, 2026 (planned), the following restrictions on email subject lines and messages will also apply to signature requests created using DocuSign. As previously announced, the migration to Adobe Acrobat Sign is scheduled for October 1, 2026.
One email subject line will be used for the entire signature request.
Messages can be set for each signer.
Individual messages can no longer be set for CC recipients.
September 14, 2026 Update Details
The following specification change and correction have been added.
Previously, CSV files could be attached to signature requests as reference files. After the migration of the electronic signature platform, CSV files will no longer be accepted as attachments.
In our September 11, 2026 update, we stated that at least one signature field would continue to be required for each agreement to be signed following the migration of the electronic signature platform. This information was incorrect. After the migration, signature field placement will be optional, and signature requests can be sent without adding any signature fields. We sincerely apologize for the error.
September 11, 2026 Update Details (Corrected September 14, 2026)
[Notice Before Correction] We have decided not to implement the previously announced specification change regarding signature field placement requirements. Following the migration of the electronic signature platform, you will continue to be required to place at least one signature field in each agreement to be signed, as before. However, you will not be required to place at least one signature field for each signer.
*The above information was incorrect. After the migration of the electronic signature platform, signature field placement will be optional, and signature requests can be sent without adding any signature fields. This information was corrected on September 14, 2026.
September 1, 2026 Update Details
Temporarily changed the expiration period for newly sent DocuSign documents from 60 days to 30 days.
Published signing procedures for recipients.

Legal effect of electronic signatures: Following the migration, electronic signatures will retain legal effect equivalent to that provided through DocuSign (equivalent e-signature validity).
Previously executed agreements: Agreements and certificates completed through DocuSign will remain available for viewing and download in LegalOn after the migration.
Core operations and integrations: You can continue to create signature requests, track progress, manage executed documents, and submit approval requests in LegalOn as before.
Direct agreement with Adobe: Customers do not need to enter into a direct agreement with Adobe.
Additional fees: This migration will not result in any additional charges.

Important Notes on Electronic Execution with Companies in China
On the new platform (Adobe Acrobat Sign), communications originating from within China are generally restricted (blocked) as part of compliance measures addressing China's Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL), increasingly stringent cross-border data transfer regulations, and enhanced regulatory oversight.
Accordingly, counterparties located in China (that is, users accessing from an IP address in China) generally will no longer be able to execute agreements electronically using LegalOn Sign.
Note: A counterparty may be able to sign if it uses a VPN or a similar connection to access the service through a network outside China.
We apologize for the inconvenience and ask customers with applicable transactions to take note of this limitation in advance.
