Open External URL on Same Assigned Journey Page

Oracle now opens external URLs within the application and skips the need to open the external URL in a separate window. Making the employee's onboarding journey more seamless and fluid.

Redwood Experience Enhancements to Share Data Access

There are further enhancements to the feature of the Redwood Share Data page which was introduced in 23B.
