February - Release Notes
Explore the latest updates to Smarter Drafter, including new features, enhancements, and bug fixes.
4 February 2026
Version 7.2.0
This release introduces significant improvements to our Intake offering by improving security posture and supporting matters and matter record. User provisioning now supports SCIM framework allowing identity providers such as Microsoft Entra to be integrated to create users and groups.
Additionally, forms started now will open in the same browser tab, a new notes section in Form Build Settings and the ability to create field aliases in Assets > Field Alias.
🌟 What’s new:
- Intake Form Security Enhancements
One-time pin (OTP) will be required on all intake forms sent to the recipient. When the recipient accesses the shared link or the link via email, they will see a page to allow them to request a code. The code is sent to the email address of the recipient that was entered when sending the intake form.

Intakes forms supporting matters and matter record
When sending intake forms, the ability to add matters and re-use data from matter record is now supported.- Matters can be included to link the intake, as well as leverage the capabilities of matter record to automatically populate already known data.
- Sending with pre-filled answers or with blank answers will be asked at the start.
- Sending with pre-filled answers will allow the matter record to be activated, and also the sender to manually fill in any known data before sending to the recipient.
- Sending with blank answers will not open the form nor populate it with any data. Instead it will ask for the recipient details and then send the form, saving time in having to load the form and making those extra clicks.
- Adding a recipient will search for your contacts or records created using the matter record.
- This will automatically populate the given name, surname and email address for the recipient.
- Customers will need to configure the field alias mapping to select the right field alias against the given name, surname and email address fields. This will be possible in a new area in Assets > Intake settings > Recipient Mapping

- User Provisioning via Entra
We have streamlined user management by adding support for the SCIM framework. You can now automatically create, update, and manage users and groups in Smarter Drafter directly through your Identity Provider (IdP), such as Microsoft Entra. This ensures your team list is always in sync without the need for manual updates.
Provisioning in Users & Permissions
- Enhanced Form Security
Additional checks in the background will now be performed when a user accesses a link to a form in progress to further enhance security posture. The changes will require a form started to no longer open in a new tab - a change that also helps improve user experience. Navigation to return during or at the completion of a submission will be made available. - Other updates
