Enhanced Loan Application 

Preview Borrower Experience in Template Manager

For lenders who want to test out their updates to their loan application templates prior to upgrading the application and turning it on for borrowers, they can use the new preview button located in the template manager card to preview the borrower experience. 

Updated Co-borrowers E-Consent Flow

We updated the co-borrowers E-Consent experience so that even if the co-borrower is completing their application on the same device as their borrower we will log out the borrower and ask the co-borrower to login and explicitly provide their own consent to credit and e-signatures. 

Bug Fixes 

• Special Characters on Custom Questions - Fixed bug so we can accept answers when the question or answer options contains special characters like  & ( $ etc. 
• ELA Tasks Displaying in Borrower Task Templates – Fixed a bug so Enhanced Loan Application Tasks display in borrower task templates. 
• Brand Logo Displays on Lender Application Page – Fixed a bug so that the brand logo displays on the Lender Application page and not a Maxwell logo.
