Pre-Release Note: Coming Soon WX Platform | Updated Left Navigation Bar
Coming soon, we’re simplifying navigation across Worker Experience with a cleaner, more focused left navigation bar. This release will go GA later in mid-March, 2026 (see rollout details below).
This update reduces visual clutter and surfaces the items teams use most often.
What’s changing
(We will share visuals of the navigation closer to the GA release)
Cleaner left navigation
The Worker Experience left navigation bar will be streamlined to include only frequently used and cross-product items.
This creates a more focused experience and makes it easier to find what you need quickly.
Rarely used items moved to Settings
Some less frequently accessed items (for example, Segments) will move into Settings.
This keeps advanced or infrequently used configuration tools accessible without crowding primary workflows.
Unused items removed
Navigation items that are no longer actively used (for example, Notifications) will be removed from the left bar.
Who this is for
All Fountain One accounts (including Hire-only accounts)
All Worker Experience customers
Note: Accounts not yet migrated to Fountain One will follow a separate rollout path.
Rollout plan
This is a Tier 3 update and will roll out in phases.
Estimated rollout window: March 17 – March 25, 2026.
Enterprise customers may see this update in sandbox environments prior to production rollout.
Customer impact
This update helps teams:
Reduce navigation clutter
Focus on primary workflows
Move between products more intuitively
Spend less time searching for frequently used tools
There is no setup required. Navigation will automatically update once enabled.
What to expect
If you rely on rarely used navigation items, you may find them relocated to Settings.
We recommend sharing this update with admins and team leads ahead of rollout to minimize disruption.
