Delegating to Workiva relieves the filer of the need to manage their own Filer API Token, which expires on a yearly basis, and also the need to have two or more Technical Administrators in their EDGAR Next account. 

Delegation is also an EDGAR Next-imposed requirement for the use of the “File With Workiva” feature, which can be an important emergency filing option even if you choose to normally file using your own tokens.  Since User Tokens expire every 30 days, registrants have a new, ongoing burden under EDGAR Next to maintain and update these tokens, and potentially have a higher chance of filing delays if a valid token can not be provided.
