What is happening? WCMS sites are being upgraded to version 1.11.

Why is this happening? This upgrade includes new features and functionality, bug fixes, and updates to site themes. A complete list of changes can be viewed at https://uwaterloo.ca/web-resources/news/wcms-version-111-release. Note that the new Opportunities content type and the support for blog commenting both require a request to rt@uwaterloo.ca to enable on sites.

What you need to do before the upgrade begins: Please log out of your site and do not work on your site during this upgrade window. Sites will remain available to site visitors during the upgrade windows.

Known issue(s) after the upgrade: Double-clicking social media widgets (e.g. Twitter, Facebook) to edit them is not available in this release. You will have to right click and select edit from the menu, or single click on the widget, then click on the widget's icon in the toolbar.
