Documents
DOCX Export now includes Style Guides
Workiva document style guides are now exported as part of Microsoft *.docx exports. This allows you to see the Workiva styles when a document is exported as *.docx files.
General
Name and email display when adding an existing Organization user
We have modified how the Workiva platform behaves when adding a user to an Organization. When adding a user to an Organization, the platform checks to see if the user name already exists. If it does, you will be asked if you would like to proceed with inviting the existing user. If you say "yes", the platform will attempt to retrieve the full user info. If it succeeds (i.e. if the operator is a superadmin) the user info is displayed in a read-only manner (this is the same as existing behavior). If it fails to retrieve the full user info, the UI will still appear, but the email, first name, and last name are hidden.
Sustainability
Copy automations, attachments, comments, or outline labels to new Program year
When you add a reporting year in Sustainability Program, you can now choose whether to copy automations for files created during the roll-forward. You can also now choose whether to also include attachments, comments, or outline labels — separately — in the copies; previously, you could only include them together.
