We’re excited to share that we’re entering the final phase of our Community migration to Higher Logic Vanilla - a major step toward bringing you a refreshed, more intuitive, and connected Community experience!
To make this move smooth and seamless, the existing Community will enter a Read-Only period for a few weeks.
📅 Read-Only Period: Saturday, November 22 – Wednesday, December 10, 2025
We’ve carefully scheduled this window around holiday seasons and quarter/semester end, when Community activity naturally slows down, so you can enjoy your holidays while we take care of the behind-the-scenes work.

What to Expect
During Read-Only:
- You’ll still be able to browse, search, and read all existing Community content.
- However, new posts, comments, and updates will be temporarily paused.
What stays active:
- All existing Community content is viewable.
- Canvas Network & On Demand Training
What takes a short break:
- New discussions, comments, or content creation
- Known Issues (no new entries)
- Documentation and release note updates
- Blog publishing
- Early Adopter and Feature Preview Groups
If you have a blog post, question, event or other content that you’d like to share before this window, please be sure to post it before November 22.
Why We Need Read-Only
This pause allows our team to:
- Complete the final migration of all Community content.
- Verify that everything has transferred correctly.
- Make sure the new Community is stable, accurate, and ready for you on day one.
Think of it as a quick “packing and unpacking” period before the grand reopening!
Enjoy the Season — We’ll Handle the Move!
We’re thrilled to be wrapping up this project as the year winds down and can’t wait to welcome you into your new and improved Community home in December.
Our target go-live date is Wednesday, December 10, 2025.
While that date is about as firm as we can make it, we’ve built in extra buffer time to account for any last-minute surprises. Our top priority is to have the new Community live before teaching and learning gear up for January - and we’re well on track!
As you enjoy the holidays, know that we’re working behind the scenes to make sure your Community experience in the new year is faster, easier, and more engaging than ever.
Thank you for your patience and partnership!
