T4 website content management system upgrade: 8th - 22nd MayPlanned Maintenance

Description

The University is upgrading its website content management system T4 (Terminalfour) to the latest version to make it more secure and improve functionality. We now have a confirmed two-week window of T4 downtime to allow migration of content to the new upgraded version: Wednesday 8 May to Tuesday 21 May 2024. During the downtime the live website will remain online, but T4 will not be accessible and you will not be able to add new content or make changes to any content. Other platforms are not affected and you can use them as normal: Blackboard SharePoint Social media Pure CampusPress (Bristol blogs) Job adverts Any pending or draft content you save in T4 before the downtime starts will be available to continue working on in the new version. You will not be able to publish anything during the downtime. The Digital Experience team will only support business-critical content updates during the downtime. If you have any business-critical content that must be published during this time, please contact web-editor@bristol.ac.uk

[Update] The upgrade and testing is nearing completion, but IT Services have identified an outstanding configuration task on Monday afternoon that needs to be completed before this can be made available. The teams are working very hard to get everything completed, but it seems likely that this will put us a day behind our original schedule and T4 will not be available until Thursday 23 May. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. If you have anything urgent that must be published before Thursday, please email the Digital Experience team at web-editor@bristol.ac.uk. Our main priority is to ensure T4 is available for all users, so we ask that you only contact us if your content must be published on Wednesday.
