We've added some new features to documents. 📑

You can now preview documents before issuing them, directly within a workflow—so you can catch errors early and ensure everything looks just right before it goes out.

We’ve also added module-specific letterheads, letting you create unique headers for departments like Building, Planning, or Fire. So each can have their own contact address, contact information, and even logo.

Check out how to use both features below.

We’ve added a new way to handle record renewals.

In addition to the existing method of creating a different linked record, you can now renew a record in place—without generating a separate child record.

This new option will:

🗂️ Create a new version of the existing record

🔄 Automatically start the workflow from the first step

It’s a cleaner, more streamlined way to manage renewals for licenses and registrations.

💡 New Feature: Smarter Fee Relationships

You can now link related fees—so child fees can be automatically calculated based on a parent fee.

Example: If your Plan Review Fee is set to 10% of the Building Permit Fee, and the Building Permit Fee is calculated as $1,000, GovWell will automatically apply a $100 Plan Review Fee—no manual input required.

It saves time, keeps fees consistent, and eliminates repetitive work.
