Update Studio

Just as there's only 1 version of the Workday application that's used by all customers, there's only ever 1 valid release of Workday Studio. Your Studio installation must be up-to-date to interact with your Sandbox or Production environment.
If your update fails, Workday recommends that you uninstall the current version of Studio before installing the latest version.
  1. If an update is available, Studio notifies you when you enter your tenant credentials, either at startup or later. Confirm that you would like to update, then follow the steps in the
    Update Workday Studio
    wizard.
    Don't update the underlying Eclipse platform independently of the Studio update schedule. Doing so can cause your integrations to fail.
  2. If you choose not to update immediately, Studio displays a red arrow in the status bar to act as a reminder. You can still develop assemblies locally while an update remains uninstalled. However, you’re prevented from connecting to your Sandbox or Production tenants. To update later, select
    Workday
    Update Workday Studio
    .
    Studio includes a lightweight version of the Workday Runtime to enable you to test and debug your integrations. To ensure that you always have access to the same Runtime that’s available in your production tenant, Studio checks for a Runtime update on start-up. If one is available, it's downloaded it in the background. To adjust this behavior, select
    Window
    Preferences
    Runtime
    Automatic Updates
