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](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-sales-sales_core-264-0-0-production-enus/3c339c40-ca6c-49ba-9c6e-684be7a55f80/images/icon_note.png)

Note On May 1, 2020, we rebranded this suite. It's now called WDC.

Make sure you’ve enabled the desired Thanks and Recognition features prior to configuring them. From Setup, enter “WDC Settings” in the Quick Find box, then select **WDC Settings** and enable the relevant settings.

- **[Configure Thanks in the Chatter Publisher and Salesforce Mobile App Action Bar](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sales.workcom_impl_thanks_publisher.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    You can change the position of the Thanks action in the Chatter publisher and the Salesforce mobile app action bar, or even hide Thanks for specific profiles.
- **[Assign Publisher Layout to Profiles](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sales.workcom_impl_assign_layouts_to_profiles.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Assign the publisher layout with Thanks to user profiles. People with these profiles can thank their coworkers directly from the publisher.
