# Product updates July, 2026

<Update label="July 8, 2026" tags={["Cases"]} rss={{ title:"Configure your New Case form" }}>
  # Configure your New Case form

  Choose exactly which fields the **New Case** form asks for, and whether each one is **required**, **optional**, or **hidden**. Set it once for the whole workspace, or override it per case template so every kind of case starts with just the fields it needs. Required fields are enforced, so a case can't be created without them.

<Update label="July 8, 2026" tags={["Forms","Security"]} rss={{ title:"Secure generic links with one-time passcodes" }}>
  # Secure generic links with one-time passcodes

  Forms shared through a **generic link** start anonymous, so anyone with the link could open them. Now, the moment a filler enters their email or phone, Penbox locks the request to that person: reopening it later requires a **one-time passcode** sent to that same email or number. The person currently filling it in is never interrupted, and the protection can only tighten, never loosen.

<Update label="July 8, 2026" tags={["Signatures","Security","Document Intelligence"]} rss={{ title:"Improvements and fixes" }}>
  # Improvements and fixes

  * **Signatures.** Requests now complete reliably when the signer is redirected back, and transient hiccups while a signature is being prepared no longer block the page.
  * **Document Intelligence.** Extraction results show the correct field name and type again.
  * **Sessions.** An expired session recovers silently in the background instead of failing your next action.
  * **Performance.** Document generation now runs off the main thread, keeping the app responsive under load.
  * **Security.** Patched high-severity vulnerabilities in axios and multer.

<Update label="July 7, 2026" tags={["Connections"]} rss={{ title:"Connections keeps growing" }}>
  # Connections keeps growing

  Since launching **Penbox Connections**, we've deepened the BRIO connector for contacts.

  ## Import at scale

  Bring in your BRIO contacts in the background with live progress, including contacts that have no email or phone.

  ## Add contacts back to BRIO

  Add a case contact to BRIO as a party without leaving Penbox, straight from their hover card.

  ## Readable everywhere

  Party codes now display as human-readable labels, BRIO users are matched to your Penbox workspace members, and connected data appears the moment you open a case, with no refresh needed.

<Update label="July 6, 2026" tags={["Outlook","Email","AI"]} rss={{ title:"Your connected mailbox turns email into cases" }}>
  # Your connected mailbox turns email into cases

  Connect an **Outlook** or **Gmail** mailbox and Penbox reads incoming email as it arrives, matches it against your case templates, and opens the right **case** automatically. The case is created in the language the email was written in, with the message and its attachments already attached.

  The add-in becomes a reader: open a classified email and the case is already there, no waiting. You stay in control with a per-template switch that decides which templates take part.
