Third Quarter 2026 interface changes - 'Waffle' menu going away?

Question

Can anyone confirm that the menu bar layout will be changing for all users in the July 16, 2026 release?

It’s mentioned on this page:
https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/workfront/using/product-announcements/product-releases/release-26-q3/26-q3-release-overview#other-enhancements

And this page shows screenshots of the new layout, which matches what’s in Preview:
https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/workfront/using/basics/navigate/global-navigation-overview

I just want to make sure it’s clear that the ‘waffle’ menu (the grid of nine dots in the upper right) is now being replaced by the ‘Main menu’ icon on the left, underneath the Workfront logo.

The new ‘waffle’ menu in the updated layout only contains links to Admin Console and other broader Adobe account areas.

Do I have this right? My users are sensitive to layout changes like this, so I want to make sure my communication is clear.

The layout that you’re showing is the unified shell that customers have been opting into for the past couple of years and you’re describing it accurately in your screenshot. It sounds plausible that Adobe is rolling it out to all customers but ultimately if you want to double check, it’s better to clear it with the Workfront support team.
