There will be limited availability to the backend of the sites affected on the following days:

More details on the changes being implemented in:

• version 1.62 can be found here.

Should the schedule change, we will inform you as soon as possible.

• The editorial backend is expected to be offline for around 10 minutes during the time frames indicated. We recommend that editors do not work on the site during these times, as they might experience issues while saving their work. If the work is unavoidable, we recommend that they save their work repeatedly, or even work offline if possible.
• A varnish cache is foreseen to keep the frontend online for the release scheduled on INFO, POL and CWT. The cache will be rolled out during the day of the scheduled deployment. In order to better prepare the cache please take note of the following:
  • If you schedule to edit existing nodes or add new nodes at any time during the day of the release, please contact europamanagement@ec.europa.eu as soon as possible.
• After the deployment, our team will run a check for problems. If issues arise, we will roll back the deployment to the previous version. If you detect issues following the deployment of the new version, please inform europamanagement@ec.europa.eu.
