intro
The March product release update introduces several key upgrades focused on making the way you manage contracts more intuitive, efficient, and secure.
From smarter deviation tracking and faster approvals to cleaner document management and more personalized e-signature flows, this release is built to reduce friction in your workflows and give you better control across the board.
Here’s a closer look at what’s new in the March release.
Authoring Enhancements
- Introducing Contextual Deviation 2.0 for More Intelligent Change Tracking
Not all changes in a contract carry the same weight. Now, you can tell at a glance which ones matter most.
- Clause edits are now categorized into High, Low, or Insignificant deviations.
- These tags show up wherever you review changes—so legal and business users can focus attention where it’s needed most.
- Deviation Data That Carries Through the Contract Lifecycle
You shouldn’t lose visibility into clause-level changes once a contract moves forward.
- When a contract is generated from a request, all deviation data now moves with it—including modifications, deletions, and additions.
- This improves reporting and keeps the full change history intact across each stage.
- Approval Routing That’s Informed by Real Contract Risk
Rather than routing all contracts through the same approval path, Sirion now uses deviation data to help decide what needs a deeper look.
- High-risk or heavily modified clauses can trigger extra scrutiny automatically.
- This ensures better governance without slowing down simple agreements.
- Cleaner Document Porting with Admin-Defined Exclusions
Not every file needs to make it into the contract repository.
- Admins can now set rules to exclude irrelevant documents during porting.
- These exclusions also apply during Auto Extraction, helping keep your repository accurate and clutter-free.
- More Flexible CLI Template Management
Need to change how your Contract Line Item templates work? Now it’s easier.
- You can edit selection criteria in live templates without needing to recreate them from scratch.
- That means faster iteration and fewer headaches when your needs evolve.
Platform Enhancements
- More Control with Streamlined Workflows for Service & Dispute Management
Managing Service Levels and Disputes used to require manual effort and legacy workflows. Not anymore.
- These entities are now supported in Workflow 2.0, allowing you to automate actions, trigger alerts, and manage transitions in one consistent interface.
- With everything now unified in Admin 2.0, users get a cleaner layout, faster navigation, and a more reliable process for managing ongoing obligations and exceptions.
- Get More from Your Emails with Built-In Audit Visibility
Staying updated on changes shouldn’t require logging into the platform.
- Email notifications can now include audit details like who created or updated an entity and when.
- These fields can be added to templates, giving stakeholders more context and reducing back-and-forth communication.
- Simplified Access Management in Admin 2.0
Managing who can see and do what is now easier and less error-prone.
- User Access Criteria has been migrated to Admin 2.0, offering a more intuitive interface for managing permissions.
- You can now define read/write access rules faster, with automatic inheritance to reduce setup time.
- A Better Way to Navigate the Document Repository
When documents pile up, you need speed and clarity—not clutter.
- The repository now displays counterparty names prominently, lets you switch between them effortlessly, and supports one-click downloads for full collections.
- New filters, saved views, and a Favorites option make day-to-day document retrieval significantly smoother.
- Smarter Search Using System IDs
Searching by name isn’t always reliable—especially when similar names exist.
- Now you can search for counterparties and contracts using unique system-generated IDs
- Keep Approvals Moving with the New Pending Actions Report
Approvals are often delayed because it’s hard to see who’s holding things up.
- This new report gives you a consolidated view of all contracts pending approval, along with details like owner, supplier, status, and last modified date.
B2B API Enhancements
- Personalized and Secure E-Signatures
Shared DocuSign accounts are a thing of the past.
- Users now authenticate with their own credentials to send e-signature requests, giving them exclusive access to their submissions.
- Expired tokens prompt reauthentication, keeping processes both secure and compliant.
- Automated E-Sign Routing for Smoother Workflows
Manual selection of e-signature accounts can lead to mistakes.
- The system now uses pre-set filters to automatically choose the right account based on agreement type—saving time and ensuring accuracy.
- Faster API-Based Document Linking
For teams that integrate Sirion with other systems, managing multiple document connections just got easier.
- You can now link multiple document keys to a contract in a single API call, reducing overhead and complexity.
