Archive years in Sustainability Program
From Sustainability Program, you can now archive a year to retain its metric values for historical reference but exclude them from reporting outputs. Archived years continue to appear in Sustainability Program — as (archived) — but their values no longer return in Queries based on the Program, or in the Factbook or other files connected to the query results.
Note: To help extend the maximum number of metric values supported, archived years are also excluded from Program limits.

Simplify United Kingdom Sustainability Reporting Standards with Workiva AI
If your Sustainability Reporting Advanced workspace has both Workiva AI and United Kingdom Sustainability Reporting Standards (UK SRS) enabled, you can now prompt Workiva AI to help prepare reporting for the Standards:
- To help clarify or simplify the Standards or their disclosure requirements (DRs), add the UK SRS knowledge base to your Workiva AI chat.
- To help assess and ensure the readiness of UK SRS disclosures within a Document based on selected DRs, use Sustainability Disclosure Agent. To prompt the Agent, highlight the disclosure's content in a Document, then select Draft disclosure from Quick edits.
