The new year is just around the corner and we’re excited to share our 2024 release schedule with you as well as a few changes we’re making to improve the experience! 

 

Here’s what you can expect:   

  • We’re moving from monthly product update releases to five releases next year, across all product lines. This will make it easier to manage revisions to your documentation, training, and platform procedures.
  • We’re increasing the time between Customer Sandbox and General Availability releases from six to eight weeks. This will give you more time to explore, learn, and adapt as needed to adopt and benefit from the platform changes
  • We’re moving from bi-monthly maintenance releases to weekly releases. This will allow us to provide bug  fixes to you even quicker. Please note: weekly releases include normal weekly maintenance (does not affect your platform/usage) every week and, most often, feature updates (does affect your platform/usage), however, there may be weeks when there are no feature updates and only the normal weekly maintenance is performed. In these weeks, no post will be published in the Product Updates section of the community as there is no relevant information to share.

 

You can check out this KB article for additional details.

 

Okay, what does this look like?

The exact dates are subject to change based on the discretion of Docebo, however, the release dates for 2024 are currently planned as follows:

And where can you find out what’s in each update?

There are tons of resources to keep you in the loop on the features or changes coming out in each release:

Does this mean we can expect bulkier and more meaningful releases? Things lie enrolment archiving, Learning plans, catalogues, notificaitons seem to be stalled...

^and many many more quality of life improvements bundled in to the flashy things like the December Sandbox release…..would be awesome.

When will we be notified about or can we expect to see what’s in each Product Update? For those of us that schedule meetings to notify our admins about the updates, it would be helpful to have a general idea. 

Thank You! 

Where will the Course and Learning Plan Player update fall on this new schedule?  We’ve been hearing June 2024 for months. But there isn’t a release scheduled for June above.  Will this be an off-cycle update or rolled into one of the others?  

@michael.schmitt.mxp FYI

For Learning Plans, will there be an “Activate for all” button like it was like for new Course Player OR will it be activated for all Power Users who have access to the Learning Plan menu on May 20th?

@Jay.Kolbenson Am I reading the release chart correctly that yesterday there should’ve been an July release in Sandbox? Or was this delayed due to the May GA release being pushed to the 20th?

Note - there are 3 items under “User Management” on the Road Map site that should be either on the Road Map or the Ready for Release tabs. 

Is there any possiblity that you will return to posting about the weekly maintenance releases on the Product Updates page in the Community instead of simply adding information to the Products Updates page on the help site? Users can subscribe to the Products Updates page in the Community to ensure they stay informed of changes. There is no subscribe option for the page on the help site.

Is there a way to get a notification on what changes will be live before they occur? Our users are pretty particular to change, so having advanced notice to communicate would be beneficial. 

 

For example: The October Release Reediness Webinar occurred after the changes were already live.

You can read the “Now Live in sandbox” for previews on the Product Update page

The notifications come out in the Product Updates page.  You can subscribe to that to get the notifications (at least the Production and Sandbox release notifications). 

I think what is needed, though, is that the Readiness Webinars happen before the release.  Many times, the documentation (or lack of) is not specific in what exactly is being changed to accomplish the outcome that is listed in the Product Updates page.  It’s usually too high level to know where we are supposed to see the change, or what conditions we need to setup in order to test it. 

The Readiness Webinars really should go out at least a week prior to the updates going live so that we can prepare appropriate communications.  For those without a Sandbox to test, that is the ONLY place to be able to “see" what is changing.
