**Note:** To use the full functionality of Docs v6.6.0 within Project Workspace, upgrade Project Workspace to the v6.1.0. For more information, see [KB2017926](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB2017926).

 -   **[Analyze the status report in Project Workspace](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=view-status-report-in-project-workspace&family=yokohama&ft:locale=en-US)**
    -   You can't edit the status report, but you can change the system property to enable editing.
    -   Import your old status reports to a new status report tool for a consistent and organized reporting system.
-   **[Configuring security for a project in Project Workspace](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=configuring-security-for-a-project-in-pw&family=yokohama&ft:locale=en-US)**
    -   Apply confidentiality settings to safeguard sensitive projects and make sure that only authorized users can access confidential data and sub-projects.
    -   When a project is marked confidential in one workspace, such as Project Management or Strategic Portfolio Workspace, these settings automatically extend across all associated workspaces, maintaining consistent protection.
    -   To promote security, at least one user must be assigned access to any confidential project.
-   **[Project task checklists](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=c_project-task-checklists&family=yokohama&ft:locale=en-US)**
    -   Create a checklist for your project tasks and manage a list of activities or steps to be completed for a task.
    -   As an Administrator, you can add or remove checklists as needed.
-   **[View the roll-up financial values for project tasks at parent project level](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=using-financials-prj-wrkspc&family=yokohama&ft:locale=en-US)**

View and manage the cost plans and expense lines recorded on a project task level on the parent project.

Zurich

</td><td>

-   **[Use Playbooks in Project Workspace](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=use-playbooks-pw&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US)**
    -   Playbooks provide structured stages and activities to keep projects on track.
    -   Added two playbooks for Project Workspace: Project Default and Stage-gate Default.
    -   Use one of the two out-of-box playbooks or create your own to match your project process.
-   **[Monitor and update project report status](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=duplicate-status-report-pw&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US)**
    -   Track the status of project reports using the Status drop down, and change the status from Draft to Published once updates are complete.
    -   Status changes are restricted to the Project Manager role.
-   **[Copy and edit status report enhancements](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=update-status-report-project-workspace&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US)**
    -   Simplified workflow for copying and editing status reports. Duplicate a status report directly without opening a form modal.
    -   The duplicated report automatically refreshes with the latest project updates \(for example, overall status, milestones, or metrics\).
    -   Any static or manually added data from the original report is retained in the duplicated version.
    -   When editing is disabled, all fields in the status report are read-only. When editing is enabled, only dynamic fields remain read-only. You can edit the status report in both the scenarios using the Edit Status Report action in the context menu.

Australia

</td><td>

-   **[CWM integration with Project Workspace](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=cwm-integration-pw&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)**

See how each project task breaks down and how its status rolls up, directly on the project's planning page, without manually tracking your team's status updates. Turn on the **Show connected tasks** setting to display the CWM tasks and stories that teams are executing as child tasks under each project task.

Spot schedule risks earlier with a date-conflict indicator that flags when a connected item's planned dates fall outside its parent project task. You can review status without CWM access, while your teams continue to track progress in CWM.
