            Enable WDC Features

            Administrators can enable preferences for WDC features on the WDC Settings page.

            Required Editions

            Available in: Salesforce Classic

            WDC is available for existing WDC customers in Professional Edition, Enterprise Edition, Performance Edition, Unlimited Edition, and Developer Edition.
            Important
            Important Starting in Spring ’22, WDC isn’t available to new Salesforce customers. For existing customers, WDC features and records from Badges, Skills, and Thanks aren’t affected and will remain available in the application beyond Spring ’22. WDC Goals, Coaching, Feedback, Performance, and Rewards features won’t appear in the application anymore, and records created previously will no longer be accessible.
            Note
            Note On May 1, 2020, we rebranded this suite. It's now called WDC.
            User Permissions Needed
