Departments: Copy of the live websites for everyone on October 22, 26

The test runs for the consolidation of the department websites were successful. As things stand now, the editorial teams will only need to make minor corrections afterward and can focus on changes related to the restructuring of the departments.

On Thursday, October 22, 2026, all department websites will be copied into the shared content management system. This will create the staging website, which will be replaced by the live website when the site goes live. During the copying process, you will be temporarily unable to log in. Your live website will remain accessible to visitors as usual.

Afterward, you can continue maintaining your live website as usual.

Important: From October 22 until the staging website is available, make a note of all important changes, as these will not be automatically transferred to the staging website later.

You won’t be able to work on the staging website right away. First, we’ll reorganize the pages together with the dean’s offices. As soon as that’s done, we’ll grant you access to the staging pages. Please review your pages, enter the changes you’ve noted, and maintain both the live website and the staging website until the site goes live.
