# New features

  • Old signing orders are deleted automatically from now on. There are several changes associated to this feature:

    • New filter in the Sign Portal: Queued for deletion. This filter shows signing orders which are about to be deleted automatically due to their age. Signing orders are deleted a year after being created, and they are queued for deletion 7 days before they are deleted.
