@justinechen 

this is really great news and the customers are informed. Question about PDI: since our HI-Login does not work for partners unless specifically granted access to, does that mean the Release preview is NOT available for our PDIs, so we can test this ourselves?

thanks and regards,

Nil

Hi @Nil C - no, the RTP program is NOT available for PDIs.

Now that we've upgraded a sub-production instance to the Australia RTP. Where do I access the documentation for this release?

Google is able to index but I haven't been able to access any of those links.

Example:

Hi @JDTurville 

At this early stage, Australia updates aren't available on the docs site. Our only official source of documentation/info about what's new in Australia is this KB article, which is being updated regularly:
