Scheduled

During final testing of the Blackboard SaaS 4000.21.0 Feature Release, we identified issues affecting partner LTI integrations. We made the decision to postpone the release while these were investigated and resolved. Those issues have now been addressed and we are ready to commence deployment. Blackboard will be deploying the 4000.21.0 Feature Release to Production environments starting on August 7 and completing on August 8.

We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
