Bring Back My Updates for Requesters and Reviewers in NWE

Currently in the New Workfront Experience there is no place for request and review users to see updates they have been tagged in and documents they need to approve in one place.


In Workfront Classic, request and review users have a tab in the global navigation bar called My Updates. This is where they go to see their pending document approvals and recent updates they've been tagged in. They have the ability to approve or reject documents from this page AND they have the ability to reply to updates from this page. They can also see which projects the approvals and updates are associated with.


I'm very concerned that this is not currently a feature in the NWE. I've considered workarounds, but something like a dashboard is not going to be clean and organized, and users won't have the ability to reply to updates or approve documents from a dashboard. When it comes to Home, at least for request and review level users, they can only see document approvals from this page which only applies to our review users and is only a small piece of what they need to see.


I'd appreciate your vote to bring something like the Classic My Updates tab to the New Workfront Experience.


Thank you,

Sydney

This is a huge snag and a real barrier to NWE transition for us as well. We're working hard to try to move our next set of users over to NWE and the 'disappearance' of a central place in Home to see all updates from all projects is a big point of contention (I have users who literally cannot believe this has gone away.)

Hoping this will get addressed soon, as it's a bigger barrier to NWE than I think the fine folks at Workfront realize! And I hope it can be looked at on a separate track than just raw votes (since having to vote to restore lost functionality is a bit of a bummer and I think a bit different from enhancement requests and new ideas!)

Just had this conversation with an Adobe Workfront services consultant. We need this back for reviewers and requestors which are our stakeholders, SMEs, customers following the KISS method for them. Alternatively would be good to have a nice, clean, interactive, prebuilt (but customizable by admins) dashboard showing Open Requests, Requests in Progress, Pending Approvals, Pending Proofs for Review, Shared Documents and Updates/Conversations (links to shared reports is a nice to have without going to another part of the system).

Yay... so exciting as I've been waiting to enroll our collaborators into the new experience for fear of an uprising after hearing that their beloved "updates" page was no more.

Great news! My current rollout schedule has requesters / reviewers in the NWE by the week of December 13th.


Has a delivery date been determined for this?
