Workday Canvas

Feature Highlights

Feature highlights are popup windows in the Workday UI that provide text information about new features and updates to Workday products.

They are similar to, but not a replacement for, What’s New report entries.

Feature highlights can include these UI elements:

  • Title text

  • Body text

  • Link text

  • Buttons

For additional guidelines on UI text, refer to the other sections in this Content style guide. If you can’t find the information you need there, refer to the Workday Administrator Guide.
