Web Express Update - Page Layout Builder and Media Library Demo Recording

Thank you to those who attended one of our page layout builder and media library webinars last week. We shared a live demo of two of the major changes coming to the administrative site building side of the new version of Web Express: the page layout builder and the media library.

For a refresher on the overarching migration project, refer to our announcement from December 2023 that details the migration all Web Express sites will need to undergo in 2024 to run on the latest version of Drupal.

If you weren’t able to attend one of the live webinars or would like to watch the presentation again, you can view a recording of the presentation (passcode: D*dv+Ah3).

This was the first demo we shared of the new version of Web Express, and we plan to provide more demos in the near future that highlight other parts of the new version, as well as documentation and training materials.

What To Expect Next

The Web Express team has identified ways to streamline migrations for a smoother transition, leading to adjusted timelines for both automatic and manual migration paths. Migration schedules for both automatic and manual paths will be sent in June.

Automatic Migration Path

  • Scheduled Migration Windows: We'll notify primary site contacts identified in form submissions with a specific two-week window for site migrations. There will be the option to confirm or reschedule.
  • Additional Prepping Instructions: We'll provide additional detailed instructions and training to make preparing your site even easier. In the meantime, you can reference the initial automatic migration planning checklist.

Manual Rebuild Path

  • Next Steps in June: We'll send information on the next steps for manual rebuilds in June.
  • Start Prepping Now: In the meantime, focus on your site strategy and content to streamline the rebuild process. Reach out to websupport@colorado.edu if you want consultation on your strategy.

Learning Resources
We'll be hosting additional webinars on the migration process and training for the new Web Express version. Watch for invites via email and Teams.
