This release is built around two ideas that go hand in hand: giving you more control over what a finished document says, and giving you a clear, portable record of how it got there. Alongside two new workflow actions, we have also made metadata selection faster and made signing a little safer. ## Add Text to Document Until now, if you wanted to add explanatory text to a processed document, your only real option was to build that content into the source file before it ever reached Willow360. Add Text to Document changes that. It is a new file-modifying action that inserts one or more brand-new pages of formatted text before or after the existing document, leaving the original pages completely untouched. The text itself is composed in a rich-text editor. You can use headings, bold, italic, underline and page breaks, and you can drop in file metadata tokens that are resolved automatically when the page is generated, so the same configuration produces personalised content for every file that passes through. **Example 1: Customer cover sheets.** A workflow that sends out signed agreements could add a page before the document reading "Prepared for \[Customer Name\], \[Company Name\] on \[Current Date\]", giving every pack a consistent, professional opening page without anyone typing it by hand. **Example 2: Internal processing summaries.** An invoice workflow could append a page after the invoice reading "Approved by \[Approver Name\] on \[Approval Date\], total \[Total Amount\]", so anyone opening the file later has the key facts on the very last page without digging through the file history. **Example 3: Instructions for the recipient.** A contract workflow could insert a page of plain-English signing instructions before the contract itself, particularly useful when a document is going to an external signer who has never used WillowSign before. For full configuration guidance, see [Add Text to Document](https://help.willow360.com/en/article/add-text-to-document). ## Compliance Report Willow360 has always kept a full File History for every document. Compliance Report takes that raw record and turns it into a structured, shareable output. The action generates a processing-history report for each file and uploads it automatically to a cloud location you choose. The report can include document details, extracted data, the people involved, a timeline of events, decision evidence such as approvals, output locations, and verification information. You can export it as a human-readable PDF or as machine-readable JSON, depending on who or what needs to consume it. **Example 1: Audit-ready contracts.** A contract approval workflow generates a PDF Compliance Report alongside the signed document, giving legal and compliance teams a ready-made record of who approved what and when, without anyone assembling it after the fact. **Example 2: Regulatory evidence.** A workflow handling regulated documents produces a JSON Compliance Report for every file and uploads it to a dedicated archive folder, building a machine-readable audit trail that other systems can ingest directly. **Example 3: Client-facing proof of process.** A professional services workflow includes a Compliance Report with every delivered document, giving clients visible evidence of the checks and approvals that document went through. For full configuration guidance, see [Compliance Report](https://help.willow360.com/en/article/compliance-report). ## Faster metadata selection Metadata menus have been reordered so that the sources you use most, Form Data, AI Data and External XML Data, appear first. Several fields, including CSV Columns in Export Data to CSV, the text field in Add Text to Document, the task description in Custom Task, and the email text in Secure and System Email, now support an Add All option. One click adds every item from a chosen submenu instead of adding fields one at a time, which is a welcome time-saver on workflows that use a lot of extracted data. ## Smoother, safer signing Two smaller but genuinely useful changes round out this release. WillowSign now asks for confirmation before you navigate away from an unfinished signing session, so accidentally closing a tab no longer means losing your signature placement and starting again. And in Simple Sign, PDF annotations now render within their own layer in the file viewer, so signatures and other annotations always display in the right order rather than occasionally overlapping other page content. ## Our take The theme running through 2.4 is that a document should be able to speak for itself. Add Text to Document means the finished file can carry its own context and instructions, and Compliance Report means it can carry its own proof of how it was handled. Paired with the faster metadata workflow, we think this release makes it noticeably quicker to produce documents that are both more informative and more defensible, without adding any extra manual work. ## Learn more [Add Text to Document](https://help.willow360.com/en/article/add-text-to-document) [Compliance Report](https://help.willow360.com/en/article/compliance-report) [How to Configure and Use Each Action](https://help.willow360.com/en/article/how-to-configure-and-use-each-action) [Overview of Available Actions](https://help.willow360.com/en/article/overview-of-available-actions) [Unlocking the Power of Metadata in Willow360](https://help.willow360.com/en/article/unlocking-the-power-of-metadata-in-willow360) [Using WillowSign to Legally Sign Documents](https://help.willow360.com/en/article/using-willowsign-to-legally-sign-documents) [How to Use Simple Sign](https://help.willow360.com/en/article/how-to-use-simple-sign) [File History in Willow360](https://help.willow360.com/en/article/file-history-in-willow360)
