This page provides information about functionality that is included in the First Quarter 2024 release. These enhancements are planned to become available in the Production environment for all customers with the 24.1 release on January 18 and 19, 2024.

The 24.1 release webinar was on January 11, 2024. You can register for the webinar to view an on-demand recording here.

Off-cycle features (those releasing to Production prior to the First Quarter 2024 release date) are highlighted in yellow.

IMPORTANT
The 23.3 release included the option to move your organization to monthly releases. Therefore, Workfront has changed the numbering scheme of releases to account for both monthly and quarterly release tracks.
Monthly and quarterly releases are planned to be available on the Thursday of the second full week of the month, unless otherwise specified.
