The second of Workday's two major releases of enhancements and new functionality in 2025 will move to production on Saturday, September 20. Workday will be unavailable from 2 a.m. to 5 a.m. while the release is applied.
Like the recently implemented Workday Everywhere feature (aka the Workday Teams app), several of the anticipated changes - the global navigation sidebar, quick actions, in-context save for favorites - aim at improving navigation and user effectiveness. Full details about these updates are contained in the Workday 2025R2 job aid (login required).
The job aid will be updated regularly as details are updated up to and through the release on September 20. This information will also be linked to the Workday maintenance page (login required).
