Presentations
Updated LanguageTool Library Version (Spell & Grammar Check)
This release updates the language tool library version used for Spell (and Grammar) Check from 5.1 to 6.6. This newer version includes additional rules for languages supported, as well as additional language variants supported (Catalan Balearic).
With this release, if a user's document properties are set to a supported locale (Catalan, German, Spanish, French, Dutch, or Portuguese), English sentences or paragraphs included in the document will no longer be flagged as incorrect when used within documents set to those locales.
Sustainability
Ability to complete metric tasks on behalf of assignees or approvers
In a Sustainability Program you can now manage multiple actions for a metric's tasks at once on behalf of assignees or approvers who are otherwise unavailable.
In the metric:
- Select Tasks and choose the tasks to manage.
- Select the action you want to take — Skip approval step or Send for approval — from Manage tasks.
To help reduce email fatigue, you can also choose whether to send task notifications to assigned workspace members.
To learn more, see this Workiva Support page: Manage metric tasks in Sustainability Program.
Respond to CDP 2025 questionnaire from Sustainability Explorer
If your Sustainability Explorer includes CDP 2025, you can collaborate on responses to questions specific to your company's 2025 questionnaire for CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) with other members of your Sustainability Reporting workspace. To help inform responses, you can review guidance from CDP and Sustainability Program metrics that collect related values alongside each question.
When responses are ready, a Questionnaire Owner can update their respective questions within your CDP submission directly from the workspace, no copy/paste required. If necessary, set up your tailored CDP questionnaire based on your company's unique CDP API ID in Sustainability Explorer to get started.
