In-product notices#

Mattermost in-product notices keep users and administrators informed of the newest product improvements, features, and releases.

Administrator notices#

Administrator notices inform system admins when a new server version is available, when external dependencies are being deprecated, or when server upgrades are recommended due to ending support life cycles. System admins may also receive notices about recommended server configuration options to optimize the user experience of their deployment.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)#

Are notices enabled by default?#

Yes. Notices are enabled by default for all Mattermost users. System admins may choose to disable admin or end user notices in System Console > Site Configuration > Notices.

Will I still receive notices if my server is air-gapped?#

No, the Mattermost server requires a connection to the internet to receive notices.

How often will users receive notices?#

Notices will be used to raise awareness of new features as part of our monthly release cadence. Users will only receive notices that specifically apply to them. For example, if a user is already running the latest Desktop App version, they will not receive an upgrade notice.
