Dear Blackboard Open LMS Client,
We are happy to announce that we will apply the Open LMS 3.7 Maintenance Pack 2 release to your sandbox/non-production site between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm EDT (1:00 pm and 9:00 pm UTC) on April 9, 2020. Please note that during the update your sandbox site will be in maintenance mode, so your service will be briefly interrupted.
Once the update is complete, we recommend you do a backup of some courses from your production site and restore them to your sandbox site to begin reviewing the new features and enhancements in advance of the production release, taking place on April 16, 2020.
Important Information to Review
- We have posted information about the release on the release overview page on the help site. This page will be a living document and will include our release schedule and the Open LMS 3.7 Maintenance Pack 2 release notes. These notes will be updated if we make any changes to your sandbox site between now and the production release and they will be finalized the week before the production release.
Highlights of the Open LMS 3.7 Maintenance Pack 2 release
