Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
SEGMENT INFORMATION SEGMENT INFORMATION
We report segment information based on the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of our reportable segments.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we combined our former segments—Digital Media, Digital Experience and Publishing and Advertising—into a single operating and reportable segment due to changes in how management evaluates results and allocates resources, reflecting the Company’s shift to unified selling motions and integrated product innovation. Prior period information in the table below has been recast to reflect this change. Our Chief Executive Officer, the Company’s chief operating decision maker, reviews consolidated results, including net income, to assess segment performance and allocate resources. This information is primarily reviewed by comparing actual results to prior period results and to quarterly and annual forecasts. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as total assets.
Information about our single reportable segment revenue, net income and significant segment expenses for the three and nine months ended August 28, 2026 and August 29, 2025 were as follows:
