Deter leakage of your highly confidential document content by rendering the reader’s email address and other information over the document. This is configurable on sensitivity labels. - We fixed an issue that caused the Wait on Send experience to stop working until the user clicked “Send Anyway.”

- We fixed an issue where users using parentheses in the name of their signatures weren’t seeing the signatures in the Insert>Signatures list.
