What's new in Contract Express 11
October 2026 (Release 11.2)
Author Online
Custom functions
Authors can now create and manage their own custom functions. Define a calculation once and reuse it as many times as you need within the same template, without rebuilding the logic each time. To reuse custom functions across templates, use an External Dictionary.
See Custom function in Author Online for more information.
Expand and collapse all pages
Authors can now expand or collapse all questionnaire pages at once to review the full list of groups and variables. While pages are expanded, groups and variables remain clickable, and pages, groups, and variables can still be reordered by drag and drop.
See Setup Questionnaire in Author Online for more information.
Visual confirmation of auto-saved changes
The markup tab now displays a visual confirmation when changes to a variable’s details are auto-saved, so authors know these changes do not require clicking Apply.
See Add markup with Author Online for more information.
September 2026 (Release 11.1)
Author Desktop
Set minimum and maximum selections on multi-select questions
Template authors can now specify the minimum and maximum number of options a user must select from a multi-select list question, in both Contract Express and Author Desktop, providing finer control over questionnaire validation.
See Constraints Tab and Text selection variable options for more information.
eSignature anchors can now carry recipient name and role
E-signature anchor fields in template wording can now optionally include the recipient's name and role, not just their email, directly within the anchor syntax.
See eSignature Field for more information.
