Confluence 8.5 Upgrade, 12/8

On Friday, Dec. 8, Information Technology Services (ITS) will upgrade Confluence to the Long Term Support release 8.5. Upgrading will enable a number of features detailed on Atlassian’s release notes page.

This change will occur during the services’ regularly scheduled maintenance window of 8 p.m. on Dec. 8, to 8 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 11.

During this maintenance window, Confluence will be inaccessible. Once completed, this change is expected to have minimal impact on users.

Leading up to this scheduled maintenance, users are encouraged to test the updated version of Confluence: https://tstconfluence.esg.wsu.edu/. Please note that the data in tstConfluence will be different than in production.
