​
Hand-Drawn Only Signature Setting

You can now require hand-drawn signatures via the API by setting hand_drawn_only: true in your signing request settings. When enabled, signers cannot use typed or font-based signatures and must draw their signature directly. See the API changelog for details.

Hand-Drawn Signatures

Firma now supports hand-drawn signatures in the signing view. Signers can draw their signature directly using a mouse, trackpad, or touchscreen in addition to the existing typed signature option.

​
Localization Guide

A new Localization guide is now available in the documentation. It covers Firma’s full multilingual support including the 3-tier language detection system, URL-based language overrides via the ?lang= parameter, per-user language persistence, and localization behavior in embeddable components.

Embedded Editor Close Controls

Both the Template Editor and Signing Request Editor now support a built-in close button and programmatic close, giving you full control over the editor lifecycle within your application.
  • Close button — Enable showCloseButton to display a close button in the editor header. When clicked, your onClose callback receives { hasUnsavedChanges: boolean } so you can prompt users to save before navigating away.
  • Programmatic close — Call triggerClose() on the editor instance to close it from your own UI (e.g., a navigation event or “back” button). It checks for unsaved changes automatically.
These options are available on both FirmaTemplateEditor and FirmaSigningRequestEditor. See the embeddable template editor and embeddable signing request editor guides for full details.
