Feature Release and Service Updates

There are two types of schedules that you can notice in Workday. One is "Feature Release" which is like an upgrade and the other being "Service Updates" which is like regular maintenance, or applying patches and fixes.

Feature release:

Workday Feature releases occur 2 times per year. Version Change happens with every Feature release. (Not Future release)

Do remember every single customer will be on the same version and it is the latest version.

-This includes New or Feature releases, Enhancements, Bug Fixes, additional Packaged Integrations etc.,

-When Workday rollout the updates, the customer system automatically converts to the newest release.

-Tenants are not available during the Feature release Weekend (which happens 2 times every year)
