A recent release to the Workiva Platform included improvements to the following products and features:
Exports
Reduced image resolution for exports
Embedded images can now be exported at lower resolutions, giving you the ability to create smaller and more manageable reports.
Images can be reduced to the following sizes:
- Print Quality (300 PPI)
- Web Quality (144 PPI)
- Email Quality (96 PPI)
- Custom (any PPI between 72 and 600)
Workiva exports images in the same quality as originally uploaded by default, but you can change this default on a per-file basis through the Properties panel:
Alternatively, you can change the resolution on a one-off basis at the time of export:

Font compatibility
We've updated how certain bold and italic fonts are handled when exporting from Workiva. Previously, certain fonts would appear styled in Workiva but show as plain text when exported. These fonts should now appear identically in both places.
Wdata
Updated connection limits
We've updated the "Connected datasets per spreadsheet" limit from 30 to 100 for all customers.
Learn more about connecting sheets to Wdata.
Documents
Bookmarks improvements
Bookmarks can now be added to any part of a document, including single words, complete sentences, a cell, or a range of cells. Once added, these bookmarks can be used as hyperlinks, as an auto-updating page number, or to simply jump between parts of the document.

Documents and Presentations
Content placeholders
With content placeholders, you can introduce structured changes into your text links and content. This allows you to reuse content while still creating unique variations for each use. They can be used to:
- Use variable content in a destination link
- Build templates for narratives and show where dynamic content needs to be updated each time the narrative is used
- Introduce variability to standard reporting language
Content Placeholders can be connected to a spreadsheet so that multiple placeholder values can be entered and updated at once.
Learn more about content placeholders.
Spreadsheets
Alternate displays for zeros
The "Use dashes for zeros" setting within the Formats panel has since been changed to "Use alternate display for zeros".
Zeros can now be displayed as an:
- Em dash
- En dash
- Hyphen
- A blank space

Organization admin
Bug fix: Cleaning up invalid workspace activity events
A set of "Workspace Created" activities logged between 8/19/22 - 8/26/22 have been removed. These activities were duplicated by "Account Activated" activities, which remain visible and accessible via the Activity Report.
Learn more about activity duplicates here.
Copy framework
Additional options when copying files
When copying files in your workspace, you'll see a new checkbox called "input mode in enabled sections." This option allows you to keep input mode enabled when creating copies of a spreadsheet.

Spreadsheets and tables
Drag and drop a range of cells
You can now move a range of cells in a sheet or table by clicking and dragging. Simply select a range of cells and hover over the border of the cell range selection to show a hand icon. Once the hand icon is displayed, you can click and drag the range of cells to a new location within the sheet or table.
