On Tuesday, December 1, 2020 MST, DigiCert will stop issuing SHA-1 code signing and SHA-1 EV code signing certificates.

New feature: Document Signing certificate renewals
We fixed a bug on the Expiring Certificates page where we provided a Renew Now link for expiring Document Signing (DS) certificate orders. When you clicked Renew Now, it opened an SSL certificate renewal form where you were unable to complete your DS certificate renewal.
Note: To renew your DS certificate, you were required to order a new certificate.
Now, on the Expiring Certificate page when you click Renew Now for an expiring DS certificate order, it opens a DS certificate renewal form where you are able renew your certificate.
To learn more about renewing a DS certificate, see Renew a document signing certificate.
We updated the Document Signing (DS) certificate's Order details page and Order details panel adding a new Renew Certificate option making it easier to renew your DS certificate before it expires. Note that the Renew Certificate option doesn't appear on the Order details panel and page until 90 days before it expires.
Order details panel
In the left main menu, click Certificates > Orders. On the Orders page, click the DS certificate order's Quick View link. In the Order details panel, you'll see the new Renew Certificate option.
Order details page
In the left main menu, click Certificates > Orders. On the Orders page, click the DS certificate's order number link. On the Order details page, in the Order Actions dropdown, you'll see the new Renew Certificate option.
