This upgrade is designed to improve security, performance, and long-term platform support. It will take place entirely behind the scenes, with no impact to live websites. Visitors will not see any changes to site appearance or functionality, and editors will not experience any changes to the Drupal Cloud editing experience.

All sites will remain live and fully editable throughout the upgrade. No action is required on your part — we'll handle the upgrade and confirm once it's complete. If you have questions in the meantime, please contact web@brown.edu.
