I see that the January 20.23.01 Pre-Release notes are available here starting on 12/14: https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/5587-january-2023-20-23-1, but I didn't see a comment here to see if we are ready to start reviewing.

January 2023/20.23.1 Preview Release Notes are indeed live and ready for review!
Please note, this is only a preview for the upcoming Brightspace version, which we will begin to roll out on January 5. All features described are subject to change before then.
-
@Judy Bot658 Thanks! Will the pre-release notes/release notes also continue to be posted on the current community (here: https://community.brightspace.com/s/article/All-Release-Notes) or should we look only in the new community now?
-
@Autumn_Moore, thank you for your patience. Preview Release Notes are now ready for review.
-
Well hey there @Autumn_Moore!
This is a great question!
- As of December 12, 2022: with the exception Known Issues and Fixed Notifications and the Stay in the Know article itself, D2L will no longer publish or update articles in the Legacy Brightspace Community. You can still view existing articles, but we encourage you to start updating links in your own resources to the New Brightspace Community to ensure you have the most up-to-date information.
- December 15, 2022: Starting with the Preview Release Notes for January 2023/20.23.1, Release Notes will only be published in English in the New Brightspace Community. You can presently view the Brightspace Platform December 2022/20.22.12 final release notes in both the Legacy Brightspace Community and the New Brightspace Community. This will be the final Release Note we publish into the Legacy Community.
Inspired by your feedback, we'll work on getting a version of Stay in the Know posted here in the New Community, connected to our Community Roadmap. Very grateful to you for your questions here
-
@Stefanie Bal729 Excellent! Thank you for this information!
-
@Stefanie Bal729 Agree, thanks for this info. We would like to share with our Admin Community, but @Autumn_Moore and I are running into an issue with the "Stay in the Know" page. We can view it when not logged into the legacy community, but upon logging in, we both get errors for that page.
@Judy Bot658 Could the legacy community page for All Release Notes be updated to note going forward those will be here/in the new community?
Preview Release Notes
Brightspace Platform January 2023/20.23.1 Preview Release Notes will be available on 15 December 2022.

Does bookmarking this discussion also alert me to changes on the High Impact Changes https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/1047-high-impact-changes-timeline page? I could not see a way to bookmark that High Impact Changes page.
-
In short, yes! The High Impact Changes Timeline is now released as part of the Release Note cadence twice a month (Preview and Final). If there are changes to the High Impact Changes Timeline, that is when we will be publishing those updates. You'll notice that the format of the High Impact Changes Timeline has changed to provide a more streamlined view. We have decoupled the detailed feature description from the timeline table and replaced it with a link to the product blog. This change enables Product Managers to provide new information in their blog post as soon as it is available. without being constrained by the Release Note publishing cadence.

In the 20.23.3 Update, it mentions users can change their language… Are the packs something that need to be bought? Or is there a repository?
-
Hi Tyler.Kron,
I believe the different language packages need to be purchased, but it could depend on what product your institution currently has purchased.
-Lara Wolters, Purdue University Northwest
-
@Tyler.Kron-Piatek26 , @Lara.Wolters2314 , language packs do need to be purchased if you want to change the language in your Brightspace Learning Environment instance. The languages we're talking about here are for the Release Notes and the Documentation knowledge base (located under the Documentation menu in the nav bar) in Brightspace Community. All the localized content Brightspace Community are available to all users, without any additional cost.
-
It's interesting on how all support languages are free yet languages in brightspace are a cost item. Bit of a cultural expectation difference. Especially when a organization may exist in countries that officially have more than one langauge. Historically companies normally support and implement the country's official languages for free and have additional language packs that may or not be free. Wordperfect, and more relevently microsoft come to mind. 🥲. Just saying.
-
This is very important feedback and I want you to know we have shared it with our product team.
Please keep that feedback coming- it helps us to take a new look at things through new perspectives.
Grateful to you for sharing with us.

@Mary Mac165 I believe @Tyler.Kron-Piatek26 is asking about what is in the March release notes, not the languages available in the community, as per the following item in the March release notes:
User Management and Settings – Easily change language preferences using the User Menu | NewYes, additional language packs need to be purchased for your Learning Environment. Can you clarify how this impacts changing the name of your Learning Environment?
