Third Quarter 2026 release activity for Adobe Workfront Planning

This article describes the features that are releasing for Workfront Planning during the Third Quarter 2026 release.

For a list of all features released for Adobe Workfront Planning, see Adobe Workfront Planning release activity: article index.

New Sample workspaces tab added to the Planning landing page

We have added the Sample workspaces tab in the Planning landing area where you can view example of best-practice workspaces. The workspaces are not editable. Workspace managers can modify views in sample workspaces. The tab is visible for Standard and System Administrator users.

We recommend that you view the sample workspaces as examples, and use the multi-workspace template bundle to create, edit, and share workspaces that result as a use of that template. The template bundle contains the same workspaces as the Sample workspaces tab.

For information, see Workspaces overview.

Workfront Planning API version 2

Version 2 of Workfront Planning API is now available and it significantly expands the capabilities of Version 1.

The following enhancements are included in Version 2:

Version 1 remains available, although we recommend that you switch to using Version 2.

For information, see Adobe Workfront Planning API basics.

For Workfront Planning API specifications, see the Workfront Planning API developer documentation.

Grant permissions to records

You can now adjust individual record permissions to control who can manage them within a record type.

Users inherit record permissions from the workspace and record type by default. To give only select users with record type permissions Manage permissions to only certain records, you can disable inherited permissions on select records and grant only those users Manage access to those records. You can adjust permissions for one record, or for multiple records at the same time, in bulk.

You can give users the following permissions levels:

For information, see Share records.

Streamlined global record type addition

To reduce clicks and help you quickly find the record types you need, we’ve enhanced the experience for adding records to make it faster and more intuitive when you add global record types to another workspace.

When you choose to add a record from existing record types, you’ll now immediately see a list of all available Global Record Types.

You can select and add one or multiple global record types at the same time directly from this screen.

For information, see Add existing record types from another workspace.

Planning Designer now available in Beta for all Workfront Planning customers

You can now use the Adobe Planning Designer powered by AI to configure your workspaces and data structures with ease. The Planning Designer supports everything from creating and configuring workspaces to defining fields and formulas, managing records, reviewing change history and building custom views.

Whether used directly or through the AI Assistant, the Planning Designer provides a flexible, powerful environment for building and maintaining structured, connected information.

A Workfront administrator can manage the availability of the Planning Designer from the System Preferences area in Setup.

For information, see Get started with the Adobe Workfront Planning Designer.

Synchronize metadata from Planning to AEM Assets

To improve data integrity, we’ve released seamless metadata synchronization between GenStudio for Performance Marketing record types and AEM Assets when AEM Assets are linked to GenStudio record types in Workfront Planning.

The following GenStudio for Performance Marketing record types can be connected to AEM Assets: Campaign, Product, Persona, Region, and Channel.

Information added to a GenStudio record type in Workfront Planning displays in a separate Campaign tab of an AEM Asset in AEM. Information about Product, Persona, Region, and Channel for that campaign also displays on that tab, in read-only mode.

With this release key metadata is consistent across both platforms and reflects updates in near real-time, reducing manual reconciliation.

For information, see Manage the GenStudio workspace in Adobe Workfront Planning.

Synchronize Metadata from Planning to AEM Content Fragments

To improve data integrity, we’ve released seamless metadata synchronization between Planning record types in the GenStudio workspace and AEM Content Fragments when Content Fragments are linked to GenStudio for Performance Marketing campaigns.

GenStudio campaign information now displays in the Metadata tab of a Content Fragment in AEM. Information about Product, Persona, Region, and Channel for that campaign also displays on that tab, in read-only mode.

With this release key metadata is consistent across both platforms and reflects updates in near real-time, reducing manual reconciliation.

For information, see Manage the GenStudio workspace in Adobe Workfront Planning.

List view updates

Multiple field types on the list view have been updated to include keyboard navigation and other enhancements.

Multi-, Single-select, and Assignee fields now offer keyboard navigation in the list view:

On single and multi-select fields in the list view:

Reference fields such as typeahead and external lookup fields, have received some interface enhancements.

Also, where available, the experience of dragging and dropping columns has been improved visually.

For more information, see Manage the list view in Adobe Workfront Planning.

Workfront reference fields are enabled as lookup fields for Planning connections

You can now add Workfront reference fields as lookup fields when connecting a Planning record type with a Workfront object type.

For example, you can add the Portfolio, Program, Group or Company information from the Project object to a project connection field of a campaign in Planning.

For information, see Connect record types.

New filters for the timeline view breakdown feature

You can now filter information in the timeline view based on criteria that match objects included in the breakdown of the records.

Prior to this enhancement, you could only apply filters for the main records in the timeline view.

For information, see Manage the timeline view.

New indication that edited and deleted fields impact request forms

We have added a reminder that record fields that you edit or delete might impact request forms that contain those fields. Now, you will have a chance to review the affected forms and ensure the changes you want to make to the fields will not impact existing information.

For information, see Edit field settings.

Edit submitted Planning requests

You can now edit Planning requests after you submit them, before a record is created from the request.

The following users can edit a submitted request:

Prior to this enhancement, you could not edit submitted requests.

For more information, see Submit Adobe Workfront Planning requests to create records.

New preview window for AEM content fragments

For better visibility when working with AEM content fragments that are connected to Workfront Planning records, we have added a preview window that displays information about the fragments in Workfront Planning.

This functionality was previously available for AEM assets and we have now added it to content fragments.

For information, see Connect records.

Lookup fields now available for AEM content fragments in Workfront Planning

You can now add the following lookup fields when you connect a Planning record type to an AEM Content Fragment:

Prior to this enhancement, lookup fields were only available for AEM assets and folders.

For information, see Connect record types.

Custom views for a record’s Details page

To allow for better flexibility of visualizing your information in a record’s details page, we have introduced the ability to create custom views for this page.

In addition to adding two already-built details page views that contain either all the records fields or just the fields visible in the table view, you can now create custom views for a record’s details pages. The views you create are visible to everyone that can access the record.

This update removes the Show all fields setting and replaces it with custom details views.

For information, see Manage the record page.

Add groupings to a Projects connected record page

You can now group your information in the projects connected records page of a record in Workfront Planning. This capability did not exist in this area prior to this enhancement.

For information, see Manage the list view.
