What’s new in Adobe Workfront? 

What’s new in Adobe Workfront (Q4 2025) 

• The “My Requests” widget has been redesigned to show both Workfront and Workfront Planning requests, now with more customizable filters and layout control.  
• The “Workload Balancer” is now available in every user’s profile, giving all users visibility into their own demand and capacity; role assignments are also displayed.  
• Planning enhancements introduce drag-&-drop in timeline and calendar views, inline edits of connected projects, and smarter request-form behaviour (e.g., single-decision approver and auto-complete settings).  
• Miscellaneous improvements: A blue-dot indicator now appears when filters/groupings are applied in lists, and administrators get a confirmation dialog before removing a custom form from an object to protect data. 

Adobe Workfront Planning (Q4 2025) 

• Enhanced request forms now let you auto-complete when a requested object is done, only require a single-decision approver when multiple exist, and support drag-&-drop start/end date edits directly in timeline and calendar views. 
• Inline editing of connected projects from the “Connected Records” page streamlines your workflow, and a UI refresh replaces view tabs with dropdowns and moves toolbar icons/search box for greater usability. 
• The revamped “My Requests” widget now combines both Workfront & Planning requests with improved filters and save-views, while the Workload Balancer appears in users’ profiles so every team member can view capacity/demand at a glance. 

Adobe Workfront Fusion release activity overview (Q4 2024) 

• The latest update (October 2025) continues to refine integrations and workflow automation across apps and web services, enabling fewer manual steps and more seamless hand-offs.  
• Release activities span multiple weeks (August–October 2025) with incremental enhancements in connector performance, scenario-execution monitoring, and user-experience optimisations.  
• The focus remains on enabling teams to automate more reliably and transparently — freeing them to concentrate on new tasks rather than repeating old ones.

Lend Your Expertise in the Workfront Community

The Workfront Community thrives because of the knowledge and generosity of its members — and your expertise makes a real difference! At times, some questions remain unanswered or unresolved, and this is where your skills are most valuable. We invite our Super Users, Advisors, and SMEs to take a moment to review and contribute:  

•  Questions with Zero Replies  
• Questions that Remain Unresolved  

These quick links provide a fast way to spot questions that most need attention. If you’re short on time, they’re a handy shortcut. Though we always encourage exploring the wider Community for new discussions as well.   

Your thoughtful answers not only help fellow users succeed but also enrich the collective knowledge of the Workfront ecosystem. Even adding context or clarifying an existing reply can guide a question toward resolution. Thank you for sharing your expertise and continuing to support the Community! 

Best practices, at your fingertips 

Did you know there is a catalog of ready-to-use project templates, dashboards, and organizational structures right inside of Adobe Workfront? Blueprints provide the basic building blocks, so you don’t have to start from scratch.
