By now you've probably seen the banner at the top of the site letting you know about an upcoming NetApp Community update. I'm excited to share the news that we'll be migrating to a new community platform!
To prepare for the migration, the current site will enter Read Only mode at approximately 12:00 PM Eastern, Thursday July 23, 2026. During this time, all existing content will remain available for viewing, but posting, replying, and other content updates will be temporarily disabled.
Our new Community is planned to launch on July 30, bringing a modernized experience while preserving the valuable knowledge and discussions that make the Community a trusted resource.
We intend to migrate nearly everything. Your account, posts, comments, and badges will transfer to the new platform. No action is required on your part. This change comes with new features and improvements to the category structure to make the site easier to navigate.
We’re also taking the opportunity to do some housekeeping. To help keep the new platform organized and concise:
- Content created before January 1, 2015 will not be migrated.
- Content created between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2018 will be archived internally.
- Inactive user accounts may not be migrated if they have no associated content.
When the new Community launches, you'll still sign in using your NetApp Single Sign-On. Your content will be here, your subscriptions will be here. We expect existing links to continue working whenever possible.
If you need community assistance during the migration period, you can find us on Discord. As always, the Knowledge Base, the NetApp Support Site, and our engineers remain available 24/7.
As with any major platform migration, you may notice small issues during the first few days after launch. We appreciate your patience and welcome your feedback as we continue to improve the experience.
If something doesn't seem right after the migration, please let us know at: [email protected]
Thank you for your patience and support as we work to deliver the next generation of the NetApp Community.
Cheers,
-Drew
