We will make the change. Leaning towards 'Rich Link Previews' ... Re: Slack - Community Integration Have you tried thisPatrickEmin? Re: What's changed in Aurora from Community Classic teavirdisWhile GraphQL APIs is the preferred way for the future, the REST v1/v2 APIs would continue to be supported for now. The plan is to eventually deprecate REST v1/v2, but the EoL date is TBD at this time. Re: Khoros Communities 22.12 Release HiDrew_CtywSure, we will look into the issue and circle back. Thanks. Re: Khoros Communities 22.10 Release FellsterukWe noticed that the enhanced banner had (i) some UI issues and (ii) interferences with any customisations present could mean a degraded experience for the end-users. There were no functionality issues, btw. Given the UI/UX issues, we thought it better to roll back the enhancements temporarily and revertto the existing version of the banner. We are workingon fixing the issues on priority and the new enhanced banner is targeted for the upcoming Community release in Dec. irach15This is also the reason why we had temporarily delayed upgrades to 22.10. After reverting to the existing banner, we have restarted the 22.10 upgrades.

Individual account teams will begin working with customers to plan their upgrade cohort and timing in the 2H of this year.
