Official updates from the CM team — product releases, community changes, and important notices.

**Post here if…**

- You are a CM staff member sharing a product release, a policy change, or a major community update.
- You are announcing something that affects the whole community — a new category, a change in access, a maintenance window.

**Don’t post here if…**

- You have a question — use the relevant knowledge category.
- You have a support issue — open a ticket in the [Customer Portal](https://portal.criticalmanufacturing.com/Support/Tickets).
- You have an internal-team update — use your team’s Teams channel or an internal-only category.

**Format**

Discussion. Only staff can start topics; everyone can react and reply.

**Example good topics**

- New release available: CM v11.2 — highlights and upgrade notes
- Cloud Services maintenance window: 12 Sept 21:00–23:00 UTC
