System administrators for accounts that contain any external pages referencing dashboards will receive an in-app notification to alert them of this change. For more information, see Embed an external page in a dashboard.
Changes to the Workfront Default API
To ensure that API calls can take advantage of the most up-to-date Workfront API functionality, we’re updating the Default API. When an API call does not specify a version of the API, the call is made to the Default API.
Now, the Default API will reflect the most recent version of the API. Moving forward, we will update the Default API each time a new API version is released, so that calls to the Default API will always use the most recent version of the API.
Previously, the Default API used Workfront API version 2.0, which has been deprecated.
If your organization is currently using the deprecated Default API, your Workfront administrator has received an Announcement Center message with further instructions regarding the Default API.
For more information, see Update integrations that use default API versioning.
