What’s New:

Canny Features (You asked, we delivered!)

  • We have added an integration to use Dropbox Sign (https://www.dropbox.com/hellosign) for our Print Docs templates from the Order Detail Page.  A Dropbox Sign account is also required for this functionality.  Please speak with your Customer Success Manager for any questions!

Spreadsheet Worksheets
