I find the new updated formatting and template system in DocuSign problematic. When I format and create content in their new updated system, the preview looks different from what I see during editing.

The biggest friction point I have encountered with DocuSign is that I would implement MFA or some kind of verification mechanism while signing documents with DocuSign so that I can eliminate phishing incidents.
