Workday Updates

Workday Fall 2025 Release 

Workday’s Fall 2025 release will go live on Saturday, September 20, 2025. The release includes new features and functionality affecting all Workday users.

What’s New?

This release marks the first major update since the Universities of Wisconsin launched Workday in July 2025. Feature releases happen twice a year, typically in March and September, bringing new functionality, enhancements, and fixes.

 New features affecting all Workday users include the following: 

• Pinned Sidebar: The Global Navigation Menu will be replaced with a pinned sidebar that remains visible as you move through Workday. 
• Homepage Quick Action Buttons: The homepage lets you select common tasks, reports, and/or external links as Quick Action buttons for easy access. 
• Save Icon: A new save icon on task pages will let you quickly save your progress without leaving the page or interrupting your work.

Additional feature releases, including changes for finance, human resources, and research administration business processes, are detailed on the Workday Feature Releases page.
