Good Day,

is there an appointment when the HCL Connections Preview environment will be updated to version 8 for testing?

Best Regards

Hi Max, Let me look into this and get back to you.

Hi Max,

I received some feedback from Adam:

I know we previously shared that we were aiming for the end of September for the preview to be live, but we have revised that and do not have a date yet. Connections v8 is focused on the end user experience, with multiple components being worked in parallel across the development team. We determined that it would not make sense to deliver a preview with the user experience only partially completed, as it would not give our customers an accurate feel for how it will work, nor will it allow for effective feedback and suggestions for changes during the beta period.

Once we have components sufficiently complete to give users a feel for the release, we will release it on the preview. Thanks for hanging in there with us.

I'm hoping this will be sooner than later. Let me know if you have any other questions/concerns.

Happy connecting,

Wes

Hi Wes,

I'm just curious:
Is there an update on this or any info at all on the progress of Connections 8?
