I'm sure its in a really obvious place that i cant find, but where do we see the actual date of an upcoming AGOL update?  Is really a huge thing for us to know in advance, not only because we get a heap of new toys to play with, but because it happens in the afternoons in our time zone and all the portals slow down to an unusable state so we can schedule a few hours off to do less AGOLy stuff.

I used to get all my information about this from Twitter but i can't help but think there is a more official method for keeping current with AGOL development.

As far as I'm aware there isn't a release schedule shared publicly anywhere. Some roundabout ways I think folks find out about releases include:

Thanks Ariel.  I'll keep a closer eye on the EAP site.  Strangely, i am an admin on at least 20 AGOL portals but i struggle to get any info on this. Maybe i should be checking my spam folders more carefully.

At some point I somehow opt-ed out of all Esri emails. If you haven't gotten anything lately might not hurt to double check your email preferences. I did that by going to MyEsri -> clicking the person icon in the upper right -> clicking Profile & Settings -> clicking Manage Mail & Email Preferences

Awesome. Thanks Jonathan. I'll check to see why I'm not getting those emails in my inbox. Cheers.
