General
Convert destination links to source links across documents
You can now convert a destination link into a source link—even across different documents. Previously, this was only possible within the same document. This update makes it easier to manage and update links without recreating them, helping you maintain document accuracy and integrity.
To use this feature, right-click on a destination link and select Convert to source.
To learn more, see this Workiva Support page: 360046357671 Manage Source Links.
Merge source links
You can now combine two source links into one to keep your destinations organized under a single source. Merging works across text, tables, charts, and spreadsheets.
To do this, copy a source link and paste it onto another source link, and confirm the merge—your copied link will now be the source link for all connected destinations.
Comment Historical Actions
When a comment thread is resolved or reopened, a comment action will be added to the thread. This comment automatically includes the name of the user who resolved or reopened the comment and a timestamp.
Documents
New and updated spacing option!
The spacing option in the toolbar has been consolidated into a dropdown. All formats are still available, including a new option for distributed spacing. This option will be available when the document locale is set to Chinese, Japanese or Korean.
Note: Distributed spacing is not supported with editable XHTML export.
Carbon
Version 4 Emission factor library now available
New Emission factor publications are available in Version 4 of the Emission factor library. In addition, this update removed of outdated factors and methodologies, and going forward, the newest library version will be selected by default for any years that have not yet had any data uploaded.
To learn more, view the Workiva Support page Factor sources in Workiva Carbon.
Notes:
- Action is required if you upload Vehicle data as “mobile combustion by fuel” for North American locations.
To learn more, view the Workiva Support page Updates to mobile combustion methodology in emission factor library V4. - Workiva Carbon does not automatically recalculate emissions when you select a new emission factor library version for a reporting year with existing entries. To apply emission factors from your newly selected library version, you can either delete and re-upload the entries to recalculate, or request a recalculation from your Workiva Carbon point of contact.
To learn more, view the Workiva Support page Factor updates and recalculations and Request recalculated emissions.
