Hello APAN users!

Unfortunately, the SharePoint 2019 upgrade previously schedule for June 20-23 has been postponed, the new date is to be determined. 

We will continue to update you via the banners as well as this blog post. 

The information below is still valid.

Deployment of SharePoint 2019 (Phase 1)  date to be determined.

Key feature for SharePoint 2019 include the following:

  • ALL SharePoint communities will be have a new URL
  • Upon completion of the upgrade process, all user saved bookmarks/URLs for SharePoint 2013 will automatically be redirected to the new SharePoint 2019 site collection/site/page/list
  • APAN is adopting a “Phased Approach” for SharePoint 2019:
    • Phase 1: Upgrade SharePoint 2013 to SharePoint 2019 Classic (UI looks similar to SharePoint 2013)
    • Phase 2 (Date TBD): Upgrade all sites including APAN custom features from Classic to Modern SharePoint

During the upgrade users should expect the following:

  • The existing SharePoint 2013 site collections will be set to “Read-Only” mode to prevent any add/edit/delete operations on the site’s content. APAN users will continue to have access to view the data during this time
  • Expect intermittent interruption of services

Training and support will be available for users after the upgrade is complete. 

Updates will be posted as they become available.
