|---|---|
| Enhanced Form Layout Properties | Apply granular UX controls to container tags to perfectly tailor your page structure. |
| Side-by-Side Views via columnLayout | Use the new columnLayout tag to logically group independent but related information side-by-side by specifying how many columns to occupy within the body container. |
| Step-by-Step Interactions with multiStepLayout | The new multiStepLayout tag allows you to partition a single PMD page into sequential steps, creating a modern, carousel-style navigation experience. |
| Save for Later Functionality in editWizard | A highly requested enhancement to the editWizard widget: native draft saving! |
| Workday Developer CLI | WDCLI is your unified command line interface to build, test, validate, and deploy Workday Integration and Extend apps. |

| Orchestrate - Kill Orchestration | This new emergency operation gives developers the ability to forcefully and immediately terminate a running orchestration, thus bypassing all cancellation checkpoints when a critical incident demands it. |
| Orchestrate - Wait for Long Running API Responses | This feature allows orchestrations to wait for Workday REST and SOAP API requests to complete beyond the standard 5-minute response timeout, supporting up to 1 hour for REST API requests and up to 6 hours for SOAP API requests. |
| Extend AI Widgets | This feature allows you to embed custom generative AI prompts directly into your application’s rich text interfaces. |
These samples have been built and curated to help hackers with some of the new features and functionality available during the Hackathon. They can be used as reference material for your projects.
