Addedv2.87.0

Clause numbering that fixes itself

Numbering a contract by hand is tedious and easy to get wrong. Now Crove handles it for you with automatic multilevel numbering1, 1.1, 1.1.1, down to lettered sub-points like (a) and (b).

Set a clause's depth simply by indenting it, and Crove builds the hierarchy. The best part is what happens when your document changes: add, delete, reorder, or conditionally hide a clause and every other clause renumbers itself instantly. No more hunting through a contract to fix the references you broke.

Because the numbering is condition-aware, it stays correct even when clauses appear or disappear based on your document's logic. It's available to everyone, in the editor today — just indent and start drafting.

Addedv2.86.0

Build data-driven documents with custom blocks

Some documents are more than text — they have pricing tables that need to total themselves, figures worth charting, or a QR code that points to a verification or payment page. Custom blocks let you build those pieces once and reuse them anywhere.

Blocks live in a new Blocks panel in the editor rail. Insert one with a / slash command, then map your data into it right on the page — no switching screens.

  • Tables that calculate their own line-item totals, tax and subtotals.
  • Charts that turn your figures into a clean visual summary.
  • QR codes linking to a verification page, payment link or anything you choose.
  • Computed values for totals, dates, and other calculations that stay correct as inputs change.

Custom blocks are built for power users assembling sophisticated, data-driven documents, and are available on the Business plan. If you're ready to give your documents real logic, take a look at our plans.

Addedv2.80.0

Five new languages, including signer consent

Crove's interface now supports five more languages: French, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese and Bulgarian.

The translation goes beyond the buttons and menus. The parts that matter legally are localized too — the e-signature consent and disclosure your signers see, and the audit-trail certificate on the finished document. A French signer reads French consent text and receives a French certificate.

If your team sends agreements across Europe, your recipients can now sign in a language they trust, end to end. Available to everyone — set your language in Settings.

AddedImprovedv2.70.0

Send a one-off document without a template

Sometimes you just need to send one quick document — and building a template first was overkill. Now you can skip straight to it.

  • Start from blank and write your document in the full editor.
  • Upload a PDF and edit or fill it directly, no template required.
  • Save it as a template afterwards, so anything worth repeating is one click away next time.

Everything you'd expect still works — fill, export, and send for signature, exactly as you would from a template. Available to everyone, starting today.

SecurityBreaking

API v2 cutover: legacy integration endpoints retired

The legacy Crove integration API was retired on 19 June 2026. Calls to /api/integrations/external/* and /api/integrations/template-webhooks/* now return 410 Gone; there is no compatibility shim. The /api/external/v1/* surface redirects to v2 with 308, but integrations should call v2 directly.

Read the full migration guide to update the base URL, switch to X-Api-Key, rename webhook events, verify X-Crove-Signature, and handle 403 quota_required plan gates.

  1. 2026-06-04

    API v2 published

    The public v2 surface shipped at /api/external/v2 with the Scalar reference.

  2. 2026-06-19

    Legacy integration API retired

    Old /api/integrations/external and /template-webhooks paths began returning 410 Gone.

  3. 2026-06-19

    v1 redirects to v2

    /api/external/v1 redirects with 308, but integrations should repoint directly to v2.

  4. Now

    Connector recovery

    Reconnect no-code tools, update webhook events, and verify signatures with the v2 scheme.

ImprovedFixedv1.10.1

A rock-solid editor and a brand-new PDF engine

The editor is now what-you-see-is-what-you-get, end to end. The template you build is exactly what shows in preview — and exactly what comes out as a PDF.

  • True WYSIWYG — design, preview and PDF finally match, every time. Earlier versions could drift between them; that's fixed.
  • Built for big documents — scroll, edit and format smoothly, even at hundreds of pages.
  • A brand-new PDF engine — cleaner, crisper output with faithful spacing, page breaks and typography.

Just open any template and export — there's nothing to switch on.

Addedv1.11.0

Import a PDF form and start filling it in minutes

You no longer have to rebuild a form you already have. Upload a PDF and Crove imports it as a template — the document stays exactly as designed, and its form fields become Crove fields you can fill, generate, and send for signature.

  • Keeps your PDF pixel-perfect — the original layout is preserved exactly; Crove fills it, it never redraws it.
  • Detects your fields automatically — text boxes, checkboxes, radio buttons, dropdowns and signature spots are found and turned into fields, each ready to fill.
  • No fields? Place your own — for flat or scanned PDFs, drag field types straight onto the page and position them where you want.
  • Map and adjust visually — see every detected field highlighted on the page and point it at the right value in a click.
  • Re-upload a new version anytime — replace the source PDF and your field mappings carry over by name; anything that moved is flagged so you can re-point it.
  • Big forms welcome — long multi-page forms import in the background, and exporting a filled, signed copy never bogs down.

Once imported, a PDF template works just like any other: create a document, fill it, and export or send for signature.

Addedv1.10.0

Make every form your own with custom branding

Your public fill links and embedded forms can now wear your brand instead of Crove's.

  • Your logo and brand colour on every public fill page — buttons, accents and the header all follow your palette.
  • Embed forms on your own site with your branding baked in, so they feel native to your pages.
  • Branded recipient emails — invitations and status updates carry your logo, colours and sender name.
  • On eligible plans, remove "Powered by Crove" for a fully white-labelled experience.

Set it up in Settings → Branding, with a live preview as you go.

SecurityImprovedv1.9.1

Stronger account protection at sign-up

New accounts are now better protected from the moment you sign up.

  • Email verification confirms it's really you before your workspace goes live.
  • Bot protection on the sign-up form keeps automated abuse out.
  • Clearer prompts walk you through verifying your address.

Existing accounts are unaffected — you're already verified.

Addedv1.9.0

Connect your AI assistant with one URL

Your AI assistant can now build templates, fill documents and send them for e-signature inside your Crove workspace.

Setup is one step: copy the connector URL from Integrations, paste it into your AI client, and approve the browser sign-in. There are no API keys to generate, store or rotate.

  • One URL for every assistant — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code.
  • Browser sign-in means your AI acts as you, scoped to your workspace.
  • One-click buttons for the clients that support them.

Open Integrations → Connect your AI to get started, or read the walkthrough on the public connector page.
