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

Before beginning the implementation process, Salesforce must enable WDC permissions and provision WDC licenses for your organization. Contact Salesforce to coordinate this with you. Meanwhile, check if your organization has available WDC licenses: in Setup, enter Company Information in the Quick Find box, then select **Company Information**, and check for WDC User under **Feature Licenses**.

Note We recommend that you enable Chatter regardless of the edition your org is using. Many WDC features use the Chatter feed to notify and interact with users. To confirm that Chatter is enabled, from Setup, enter Chatter Settings in the Quick Find box, then select **Chatter Settings**, and verify that Chatter Settings is enabled.

When using WDC features in the mobile app, you can’t create custom badges.
