There is a newer version available for this content: "Xanadu EA (Early Access) family release now available!

 

Hi there,

 

It's General Availability release day, the Washington DC release is here! For customer instances General Availability became available around 14:00 CET today. Hopefully later today, also for Personal Developer Instances.

 

While most was already known with Early Access, with General Availability still new things are added and in some cases removed. Let's explore in the next days 😁.

Upgrade Personal Developer Instance

Might you be less known about how to apply an upgrade on your instance, like the Washington D.C. release or the latest Patch, here's a short how-to:

- Login to the Developer site
- If you already have a Personal Developer Instance:
-- Under the "Your Instance" section (visible after clicking your profile icon on the top right), select "Upgrade instance". In the popup that appears you will see all available options to upgrade your Personal Developer Instance.
- If you don't have a Personal Developer Instance:
-- Just request one for free!

 

Upgrade Personal Developer Instance or start fresh?

Personally, I take this moment to wipe my Personal Developer Instance and to start with a clean Washington D.C. release instance. Re-provisioning your Personal Developer Instance will take some time and effort if done manually. Have you read about my Blog series on specifically this topic, to provision your PDI quicker?
