Client Reported Issues

Lowercase letter descenders are clipped in text stamps COP-202585 All Clients
1. Issue: The descenders of lowercase letters (for example g, j, p, q, and y) are being obscured by the bottom edge of the text box, causing them to look like other letters (a, i, and v).
2. Fix: A code change has been made to proportionally increase the height of the text box so that descenders will display in their entirety.

Display User Submission Fail action reason and comment in Envelope Details COP-53325 All Clients

2026.2.7 – Stage 06/29/2026, Production 07/09/2026

Client Reported Issues

Service Contacts do not display in Envelope Details page as they existed when the envelope was submitted COP-54198 All Clients
1. Issue: When a service contact is removed from the case in a later subsequent filing, the current Envelope Details page no longer displays that service contact. Likewise, when a service contact is added to the case in a later subsequent filing, the current Envelope Details page incorrectly includes that service contact.
2. Fix: A code change was made to ensure that the service contact section of the Envelope Details page correctly reflects the service contacts selected when the envelope was originally submitted by the filer. Service contacts added to or removed from the case later are no longer displayed in the Envelope Details page.

The default green manual stamp color is incorrect in Document Viewer 2.2026 COP-203621 All Clients
1. Issue: In Document Viewer 2.2026, the default green color used for manual stamps (#00FF00, bright lime green) did not match the forest green (#008000) that is applied with auto stamps and in Document Viewer 1. This issue caused a visible discrepancy in stamp appearance for clients using manual and auto stamps in Document Viewer 2.2026.
2. Fix: A code change was made in Document Viewer 2.2026 to update the green property of manual stamps to produce the same forest green (#008000) as auto stamps. This change was applied only to Document Viewer 2.2026.

Case Sub Type is not being displayed in Case Information panel COP-197815 All Clients
1. Issue: The Case Sub Type field is not populated in the Case Information panel while the envelope is under review, although the Case Sub Type properly displays in the ALL panel and in the Envelope Details panel. This issue prevented reviewers from seeing or modifying the Case Sub Type in the Case Information panel.
2. Fix:A code change was made to display the Sub Type in the Case Information panel when selected by the filer or changed by the reviewer.

Errored Service Contacts display as Not Served in Envelope Details COP-102878 All Clients
1. Issue: In the Review Application, service contacts whose email delivery failed were incorrectly displayed in the "Service Contacts Not Served" section of Envelope Details. Email delivery might fail due to undeliverable emails or being on a suppression list from previous undeliverable emails. These Service Contacts should have appeared under the Service Contacts section beneath their applicable party with a status of "Error" and a link to the error log.
2. Fix: A code change was made to correctly distinguish between service contacts that were not served and those that encountered an error during delivery. Errored service contacts now display in the Service Contacts section with a status of "Error" and a View link to the error log when available.

New Functionality

Remove Subscriber from Notifications PFS-316
1. Notification Center subscribers can now be unsubscribed from a case. Reviewers can view the list of filers, attorneys, and firms receiving notifications on the case, and reviewers with the Unsubscribe Notifications role can remove a subscriber so that they no longer receive future notifications.
2. Clicking the Delete icon in the Remove column will prompt a confirmation dialog box to remove the subscriber.
3. This functionality has no effect on the Notification Agency.
4. NOTE: The Notification Center Subscribers feature requires EFM 2026.2.1 and EFSP 2026.1.3. Support for unsubscribing subscribers requires EFM 2026.2.2.

The Reviewer filter check box remains selected after the filter is cleared COP-200080 All Clients
1. Issue: In the Review Application, when a user removed the Reviewer filter by clicking the X on the filter tag at the top of the Review History results and then clicked Apply, the checkmark next to the reviewer's name in the Filters pane was not cleared. The results updated correctly, but the filter check box display was out of sync with the actual filter state.
2. Fix: A code change was made to ensure that when a Reviewer filter tag is removed and Apply is clicked, the corresponding check box in the Filters pane is also cleared, keeping the filter display consistent with the applied filters.

Internal Updates

Comments Panel should be available in Document Viewer 2.2026 REV-4610 All Clients
1. Issue: In Document Viewer 2.2026, when the Notes/Comment annotation button was removed, the Comments panel was also inadvertently removed. The Comments panel is required for automated testing and document review automation, but the panel icon was no longer visible in the top-right corner of the document viewer.
2. Fix: A code change was made to reinstate the Comments panel in Document Viewer 2.2026 independently of the Notes annotation button. The Comments panel icon is now visible and opens the panel as expected, while the Notes annotation button remains hidden.

Unused single-key keyboard shortcuts should be disabled in Document Viewer 2.2026 REV-4576
1. In Document Viewer 2.2026, several default single-key keyboard shortcuts from the underlying PDFTron component were active and could inadvertently trigger tools not intended for use in the Review Application (Arrow, Callout, Eraser, Stamp, Rubber Stamp, and Signature). Pressing these single keys during document review could activate hidden or unsupported annotation tools, causing unexpected behavior.
2. A code change was made to disable the following single-key keyboard shortcuts in Document Viewer 2.2026: A (Arrow), C (Callout), E (Eraser), I (Stamp Tool), Q (Rubber Stamp Tool), and S (Signature). These shortcuts no longer activate any tools, preventing unintended interactions during document review.

2026.2.6.0 – Stage Deployed 06/15/2026, Production Deployed 06/25/2026

Client Reported Issues

A blue notification message displays incorrectly after a filing is reviewed COP-53413, COP-188054 All Clients
1. Issue: A blue warning message was incorrectly displaying the message, "The updated filing code does not support Service(s) that were previously applied. If the filing is saved with the updated Filing Code the following services will be removed." This occurred each time a filing was accepted if there were still additional filings in the envelope and the Filing Details panel was still open.
2. Fix: The blue warning message no longer incorrectly displays when the first filing is accepted and the next filing displays.

New Functionality

Display the Gender field on non-criminal case parties when configured REV-4444
1. The Review Application has been updated to support Gender as a configurable party demographic field on non-criminal cases.
2. The Review Application will display the filer’s selection of gender when the filing is submitted and the envelope is in review. Reviewers can view, edit, or add a party's gender in the Party Information panel during envelope review based on the party demographic configuration.
3. The Gender field can be configured by case type, party role, and location, and may be set as required, optional, or hidden.
4. Changes made during review of the envelope will persist to the database and be transmitted to the CMS on acceptance of the filing.
5. This feature requires EFM 2026.2.1 and EFSP 2026.1.1.

2026.2.5 – Stage Deployed 06/01/2026, Production 06/11/2026

Client Reported Issues

Manual annotations are being cut off COP-181402, COP-182275, COP-87336 All Clients
1. Issue: When a reviewer manually adds multi-line annotations (free text) to a document during review, the transmitted document cuts off lines of text or omits them entirely. Line breaks are not preserved in the final accepted filing.
2. Fix: A code change was made to preserve returns in manual annotations before XML parsing, preventing blank lines from being collapsed. This ensures that text wrapping, line breaks, and formatting are fully retained in the transmitted copy.

Filing codes cannot be edited after changing Case Cross Reference Number COP-190766 All Clients
1. Issue: In the Review Application, after a reviewer modifies the Case Cross Reference number during review, filing codes can no longer be edited.
2. Fix: A code change has been made to ensure that the filing code fields remain editable after updates to the Case Cross Reference number, allowing reviewers to continue modifying filing codes regardless of other changes made during the review process.

New Functionality

Internal Updates

Disable drag and drop page rearrangement REV-4526
1. Issue: In Document Viewer 2.2026, users could drag and drop page thumbnails within the PDF thumbnail viewer panel, giving the appearance that pages could be reordered. However, the document order was not actually updated upon transmission. Additionally, the tooltip for the thumbnail panel incorrectly displayed "Left Panel" instead of "Document Thumbnail.".
2. Fix: A code change has been made to disable the drag and drop functionality for page thumbnails in Document Viewer 2.2026 since page reordering is not a supported feature. The tooltip has also been updated from "Left Panel" to "Document Thumbnail" to accurately reflect the panel's purpose.

Remove Notes annotation REV-4509
1. Issue: In Document Viewer 2.2026, the Notes/Comment annotation on the annotations toolbar duplicated the functionality of Process Notes. Additionally, the annotation persisted as a stray image artifact on transmitted documents.
2. Fix: A code change has been made to remove the Notes/Comment annotation button from the annotations toolbar in Document Viewer 2.2026. Users should use the Process Notes tool in the top toolbar, which provides enhanced functionality including the ability to control note visibility by organization or for all reviewers.

2026.2.4 – Stage Deployed 05/18/2026, Production Deployed 05/28/2026

Client Reported Issues

Annotations Not Saving - Manual annotations cut off COP-178239, COP-181402, COP-182275, COP-187336
1. Issue: When a reviewer manually adds multi-line annotations (free text) to a document during review, the transmitted document cuts off lines of text or omits them entirely. Line breaks entered using Shift+Enter are not preserved in the final accepted filing.
2. Fix: A code change was made to preserve newline-only rich-text elements in manual annotations before XML parsing, preventing blank lines from being collapsed. This ensures that text wrapping, line breaks, and formatting are fully retained in the transmitted copy.

Error when loading document COP-171308
1. Issue: Certain PDF documents failed to load in the Review Application due to the viewer not correctly detecting the file type from the submitted document.
2. Fix: The system now explicitly identifies the file format when displaying documents, ensuring reliable document rendering.

Internal Updates

Lower Court fields do not display in Subsequent filings; Category and Type do not honor ECFCaseType REV-4513
1. Issue: Lower Court Case fields were not displaying in Subsequent filings at Appellate locations during envelope review. Additionally, the Lower Court Case Category and Lower Court Case Type fields incorrectly displayed for all case categories instead of only Appellate case types.
2. Fix: A code change has been made to the Review Application to correctly display all Lower Court Case fields in Subsequent filings. The Lower Court Case Category and Lower Court Case Type fields have been restricted to display only for Appellate case types.

Stage Deployed 05/19/2026, Production Deployed 05/19/2026

This update does not include a change to the viewer (user interface) so the version number did not change for Stage or Production.

Client Reported Issues

Court Admin users on newly enabled CSM sites are unable to unlock envelopes COP-103087, COP-178562 All clients using CSM
1. Issue: Review Application users who are assigned the Court Admin role at locations where CSM was recently enabled may receive the following message when they attempt to unlock an envelope: "You are not a Court Admin at the location of the Envelope. Please contact the Court Admin at the location of the Envelope."
2. Fix: A code change was implemented to properly account for the client’s CSM status when the system retrieves Court Admin locations during the unlock process.

Leading and trailing spaces in names are being saved to the database COP-73872
1. Issue: Leading and trailing spaces in names are being saved to the database when they are added in the Review Application. Note that EFM-9732 in EFM Release 2026.2.1 addresses this issue when leading and trailing spaces are included in names submitted from the EFSP application.
2. Fix: A code change was made to remove leading and trailing spaces in party and business name fields when the fields are edited in the Review Application.

Error when loading document COP-171308
1. Issue: Certain PDF documents failed to load in the Review Application due to the viewer not correctly detecting the file type from the submitted document.
2. Fix: The system now explicitly identifies the file format when displaying documents, ensuring reliable document rendering.

Adding a court user Saves but the role disappears COP-53539
1. Issue: When a new user with the Court User role is being added in the Review Application, the role is being saved to the database but is not displaying in the Court Admin Users tab.
2. Fix: A code change has been made to add the missing Court User role assignment logic during user registration, ensuring that the role is correctly saved and displayed for newly created users.

Lower Court fields do not display in Subsequent filings; Category and Type do not honor ECFCaseType REV-4513
1. Issue: Lower Court Case fields were not displaying in Subsequent filings at Appellate locations during envelope review. Additionally, the Lower Court Case Category and Lower Court Case Type fields incorrectly displayed for all case categories instead of only Appellate case types.
2. Fix: A code change has been made to the Review Application to correctly display all Lower Court Case fields in Subsequent filings. The Lower Court Case Category and Lower Court Case Type fields have been restricted to display only for Appellate case types.

Edits to the user role are not immediately reflected in the Users table REV-4511
1. Issue: On the Court Admin page, user role changes were not immediately reflected in the Users table after they were saved. Users had to navigate away and return to see the updated roles.
2. Fix: Role assignments now update in the Users table instantly after they are saved without requiring the user to navigate away and return.

Envelope Details page does not display filer's selected lower court data REV-4485
1. Issue: The Envelope Details page in the Review Application did not display the filer's selected lower court case data fields even though the data was correctly populated in the database.
2. Fix: The Envelope Details page was updated to properly retrieve and display the lower court case data submitted by the filer.

2026.2.3.14 – Stage Deployed 05/04/2026, Production Deployed 05/15/2026

Client Reported Issues

Inconsistent timestamp formats in Envelope Lookup Export (mix of local time and UTC) COP-134905.
1. Issue: The Envelope Lookup Export generates a CSV file where timestamp formats are inconsistent. “Envelope Filed” and “Time Accepted” are displayed in local time in the AM/PM format, while other timestamps are displayed in UTC using a 24-hour format, creating confusion and making the data harder to interpret.
2. Fix: A code change has been made to standardize all timestamps in the Envelope Lookup Export to display in local time using AM/PM format for consistency and readability.

HOTFIX – 2026.2.2.2240 – Stage Deployed 05/01/2026, Production Deployed 05/01/2026

This update does not include a change to the viewer (user interface) so the version number did not change.

Client Reported Issues

Token-based stamps (CaseNumber, CaseLocation, DocketDate, etc.) are truncated in transmitted documents when the resolved value exceeds the token length COP-171720, COP-94341, COP-94353, COP-103480 All Clients
1. Issue: In transmitted documents, both auto-generated and manually applied stamps that use tokens are being truncated. The stamp field is sized based on the original token length rather than the resolved value. When the token is replaced with longer content (for example, full case number, location, or docket date), the text is cut off.
2. Fix: A code change has been made to update stamp rendering so the text container dynamically sizes based on the resolved token value instead of the token placeholder length, ensuring full content displays in transmitted documents.

Changing Filing Code of a Draft Order Causes a SQL Error on DocumentTypeID - REV-4466 COP-105953 Kentucky
1. Issue: When the reviewer changes a Draft Order filing code to a different filing code, the Review Application displays a 500 error indicating that the update failed. This issue occurs when the document type does not display a document security field.
2. Fix: A code change has been made so that when the reviewer changes a Draft Order filing code to a different filing code, the system accepts the filing code and allows continued review of the envelope without error.

The user is returned to page 1 when closing out of Envelope Details in Review History - REV-4154 COP-53056 All Clients
1. Issue: When multiple reviewers are selected in the filter on the Review History page and the reviewer navigates to any page after page 1, then accesses Envelope Details from the action menu and then closes Envelope Details, the user is returned to page 1 instead of remaining on the selected page.

Cannot proceed after saving case if case was previously invalid - REV-4467
1. Issue: When the case type of a case initiation envelope is changed to a case type with required fields that aren't populated, such as Case Cross Reference Numbers, the user receives a red toast error when the user attempts to save. Even if the case type is changed back to one without the required fields, the red error toast still is displayed.
2. Fix: A code change has been made to clear the prior validation and apply only the current validation for required fields.

1. Issue: Each time the Review Application loads the Stamps panel, another instance of the same user stamp is being added to the Stamps panel.
2. Fix: A code change has been made to the caching of user-specific stamps so that the correct stamps are displayed only once for the signed-in user, rather than each time the Stamps panel is loaded.

1. Issue: When a user views the Filing Information panel during review, the Lead document displays in the Document section multiple times. This issue can also happen with Attachment documents.
2. Fix: A code change has been made so that the Review Application displays the document in the Filing Information panel only once.

New Functionality

Display and sort by Upcoming Hearing Date entered by filer PFS-3 All Clients
1. When the filer has entered an Upcoming Hearing Date for the envelope, the Review Queue page now presents the option to display the column, filter by the date, sort by the date, view the date during review, and display the date on the Envelope Details page. There is no integration associated with this date when entered. It is only for the purpose of sorting and prioritizing the review of envelopes that indicate an upcoming hearing date.
2. The Upcoming Hearing Date field honors the "UpcomingHearingDate" data field configuration (DFC) defined in the Administrative Console for the EFM. The filer has the option to enter the date on subsequent envelopes, and the Review Application only displays the date if it is populated. The date cannot be edited in the Review Application.
3. Due to space constraints, the name of the column in the Review Queue is "Hearing Date." To view the Hearing Date column in the Review Queue, select the check box in the Visible Columns menu.
4. Once visible, the Hearing Date column can be sorted in ascending or descending order.
5. The Hearing Date can be filtered by a date range. To use the date range, populate the start and end dates in the Filters column, and then click Apply.
  The following screen shot shows the Hearing Date column sorted in ascending order and filtered by a date range. The filter display at the top of the Review Queue shows the applied sort order and date range.
6. The Upcoming Hearing Date displays on the Case Information panel during review if it was populated by the filer.
7. The Upcoming Hearing Date displays on the Envelope Details page if it was populated by the filer.
8. NOTE: The Upcoming Hearing Date feature requires EFM 2025.4.0 and EFSP 2026.1.2.

1. A new feature is introduced to display the filer, attorney, and firm receiving notifications on the case based on all efilings submitted into that case. This feature allows the Review Application user to view a list of filers who will receive electronic service.
2. If a Notification Agency is associated with the case, it will display on the dialog box to indicate that members of the firm associated with the agency will receive notifications related to that case in the Notification Center.
3. The user can click on the Notification Center Subscribers button on the Party Information panel during review of a subsequent envelope to access the Notification Center Subscribers dialog box.
4. If the Notification Agency field is populated for the case, that agency will display on the dialog box above the table of subscribers.
5. NOTE: The Notification Center Subscribers feature requires EFM 2026.1.2 and EFSP 2026.1.3.

Party is incorrectly required for subsequent filings on secure cases COP-82322 All Clients
1. Issue: When a user clicks the Accept action on a subsequent filing on a secure case, the Review Application is erroring to indicate that the envelope has no parties. Parties are not displayed for certain configurations of secure cases, but the validation of parties in the display should not prevent filing into the case.
2. Fix: When a user clicks the Accept action on a subsequent filing on a secure case, the Review Application now accepts envelopes submitted to secure cases that do not display parties.

Unable to copy from document COP-90710 All Clients
