This line should be written in flowing text style. Consider rewording to make it more natural and engaging, such as: 'The workday integration helps you determine whether the current day is a workday or not.'

It allows specifying which days of the week will count as workdays and also uses the Python module [holidays](https://pypi.org/project/holidays/) to incorporate information about region-specific public holidays.

This can be used to make daily automations that act differently on workdays than non-workdays. For example, you could make your bedroom lights turn on (gently) at 7 in the morning if it is a workday but wait until 11 if it is a non-working day.

The `workday` {% term integration %} also provides a `calendar` entity that may be used to see upcoming workdays.

This sentence feels awkward and formal. Consider rewriting in a more natural, flowing style: 'You can also use the calendar entity to view your upcoming workdays.' This makes it more personal and easier to read.
