Employee Slate: Monthly Release Highlights
A quick-reference summary of what's new in Employee Slate each month. Click the blog link in each section for full feature details. Updated monthly.
August 2026 Browse & discovery, task control, and content governance Read release blog →
| Feature | What it does |
| Browse & Topic Pages | Structured navigation for employees who prefer to explore over asking. Topic pages surface relevant knowledge, catalog requests, quick links, and topic-specific AI prompts in one consistent layout. |
| Task Configuration Enhancements | Scope task configurations to Employee Slate or Employee Center independently. Adds custom action widgets, per-task AI Insights skill assignment, and custom scripts to pull external data before insights run. |
| Content Versioning | Every announcement edit is logged as a new version. Published content is locked from accidental edits; version history is accessible from the authoring editor. |
| Knowledge Widget Visibility Controls | Admins can show or hide author name and last updated date on knowledge articles via widget instance properties. |
July 2026 Content surfacing, admin control, and governance Read release blog →
| Feature | What it does |
| EC Pro News & Events in Content Feed | EC Pro News and Events surface automatically in the Employee Slate Content Feed — no migration needed. Scheduling, audience targeting, and active status from EC Pro are all respected. |
| Homepage Widget Configuration | Configure home page widgets (starting with Quick Links) directly in the Admin Console with live preview. No scripts, no scattered tables. |
| Canvas Admin: Preview by Role or User | Preview the canvas as any role or individual employee before changes go live. |
| Canvas Admin: Additive Updates | Publish canvas updates without overwriting employee personalizations. New widgets appear in default positions; existing layouts stay untouched. |
| Streamlined Email Notifications | 38 notifications consolidated to 16, organized by persona and lifecycle stage. AI-native branded template with action-oriented subject lines. |
| Terms of Use Attestation | Require employees to accept Terms of Use on first login. Supports multiple segments with DSL-based targeting and creates a compliance audit trail. |
| Employee Profile Photo | Employees can upload, update, or delete their profile photo directly from their Employee Slate profile page. |
June 2026 Flexibility, localization, and deeper admin control Read release blog →
| Feature | What it does |
| Multi-theme Experience | Serve distinct branded experiences to different business units or regions from a single instance, driven by role, department, location, or custom attributes. |
| Dynamic Home Page Layout | Home page layout adjusts automatically based on active widgets — no manual configuration needed. |
| Admin Console Enhancements | New Tasks and Requests section with an AI Preferences tab to control summary generation mode and set daily AI usage limits (0–100,000). |
| Content Feed Widget on Canvas | Infinite-scroll announcement feed on My Canvas, separate from the home page carousel. Homepage promotion is now opt-in. |
| Enhanced Telemetry for Journey Analytics | Out-of-the-box journey funnels across Home, Inbox, Catalog, Knowledge, Org Chart, and more — no custom instrumentation needed. |
| Localization: 22 Languages | Expanded from 6 to 22 supported languages via I18N plugins activated by admins. Moveworks assistant supports 100+ languages. |
May 2026 GA launch — Employee Slate, the AI-first employee experience Read release blog →
| Feature | What it does |
| Conversation-first Home Page | AI chat bar at center with to-dos, popular content, quick links, holiday calendar, and announcements. Admins configure content, not layout. |
| Persistent Navigation & Omni-bar | Side nav and AI assistant available on every page — no need to return to home to ask a question. |
| Native Knowledge & Catalog Experience | Ask in plain language; the assistant finds the right article or catalog form and opens it in split view alongside the chat. |
| Personalized Canvas (My Canvas) | Employee-owned drag-and-drop workspace. Admins control default layout and widget library. Includes AI-powered Widget Builder. |
| Unified Inbox for Tasks & Requests | All tasks, approvals, and requests in one AI-prioritized view. Inherits existing Employee Center configurations automatically. |
| Org Chart & Employee Profile | Browse reporting structures, search for people, and view or update profile details — all within Employee Slate. |
| App Launcher & Employee Communications | App Launcher centralizes access to enterprise apps via SSO. Employee Communications brings announcement authoring with audience targeting into the Slate. Both require Employee Slate Advanced. |
| Enterprise Search & World Knowledge | AI-powered cross-system search across 100+ integrations (SharePoint, Google Drive, Slack, and more). World Knowledge adds governed generative AI for research and drafting. Both require Moveworks. |
| Notifications & Admin Console | Actionable Moveworks-native notifications in a dedicated panel. Unified Admin Console for all configuration — branding, assistant, search, canvas — with live preview. |
