New Home: Bring back Recent Updates

Please add Recent Updates (currently the left column on the old My Work) to the new My Home page. I depend on this daily to make sure I didn't miss anything.

Our company uses this feature and would like to see it back somewhere within the new Home page. Thanks!

This hasn't been a huge problem for my users. Most of them prefer to keep getting notifications in their Outlook inbox rather than check the My Updates, though for some it has been an annoyance.

I know this thread is about returning the My Updates column to the Home page somewhere, but it might make even more sense to give the Home page the ability to embed external pages similar to how the Dashboards work. That would allow people to keep a checklist or other external documentation right on the Home page where they're working. Currently, some users here have documentation from Atlassian Confluence open in a separate tab of their browser and switch back and forth to do their work.

Either way, all of my users who have switched to Home tell me it is better than My Work; it just takes a little getting used to.

Does anyone else see the new HOME area as a problem with these inconsistencies we are seeing? Love the new features but to take away these original features... is this a problem for anyone else?

If HOME is supposed to be a one-stop update epi-center, why TAKE AWAY the Updates????

I haven't been able to get it into the new Home area, unfortunately, but I was able to add it to a Dashboard as an "External Page" by just pasting in the URL to it there. If you have a Dashboard that you check frequently, it can be added to that.

Here is a good tip that will hold us over until Recent Updates comes back.

This is a page usually reserved for Review license users, but it works great for Plan license users and has the recent updates. It's the myUpdates page:

https://xxx.my.workfront.com/myUpdates

I set this page up as an external link on a dashboard, and added it to my layout template.

I've had requests from my users to have this functionality returned, even if it is on another page.
