  • User

This page provides information about functionality that is included in the 23.3 release. These enhancements were made available in the Production environment with the 23.3 release on July 20 and 21, 2023.

The 23.3 release webinar was on June 29, 2023. You can register for the webinar to view an on-demand recording here.

Off-cycle features (those releasing to Production prior to the 23.3 release date) are highlighted in yellow.

IMPORTANT
The 23.3 release includes the option to move your organization to monthly releases. Therefore, Workfront is changing the numbering scheme of releases to account for both monthly and quarterly release tracks.
  • If you are on the fast release (monthly) track, the release after 23.3 will be 23.8, on August 31, 2023.
  • If you are on the quarterly release track, the release after 23.3 will be 23.10, in the week of October 26, 2023.
Quarterly releases will include functionality from three monthly releases. For example, the 23.10 quarterly release will include functionality released in the 23.8, 23.9, and 23.10 monthly releases.
Monthly and quarterly releases are planned to be available on the last Thursday of the month.
