- CoSec Management with Signing and Trust Management with Signing
- Unlimited plans for our Companies and Trusts will be renamed to:
- Full Access
- Individual plan Standard will be renamed to:
- AML only, as this better reflects the plan's purpose. Individuals are still able to sign documents in their personal capacity.
- Retirement of the 2-Party Plan for Trusts: all existing Trusts will continue to renew on this plan.
- Removing the loading plan, when an entity is added to Connectworks, it will be on an active plan.
