If you do not wish to receive these email notifications, please let us know at support(a)bccampus.ca<mailto:support@bccampus.ca>. EXTENDED UPGRADE NOTICE We encountered some issues when upgrading Pressbooks and are currently working on solving them. As such, we have extended the timeframe of this upgrade. Please note the new dates and times where you will be unable to login. From Thursday, February 20th, 2025 at 1:00pm to Friday, February 21st, 2025 at 10:00am Pacific Time, Pressbooks (pressbooks.bccampus.ca<http://pressbooks.bccampus.ca/>) will be upgraded to version 6.22.1.

Changes: * New branding for British Columbia/Yukon Open Authoring Platform (pressbooks.bccampus.ca<https://pressbooks.bccampus.ca/>) and BCcampus Open Publishing (opentextbc.ca<https://opentextbc.ca/>): In an effort to better distinguish between the Pressbooks site for B.C. and Yukon faculty and the one for BCcampus-published resources, we have made some changes to the appearance of both sites. * British Columbia/Yukon Open Authoring Platform (pressbooks.bccampus.ca<https://pressbooks.bccampus.ca/>): Replaced the BCcampus logo with a new logo (British Columbia/Yukon Pressbooks logo). The red primary site colour remains the same. * BCcampus Open Publishing (opentextbc.ca<https://opentextbc.ca/>): Now features a dark blue theme that reflects BCcampus branding. The BCcampus logo remains the same. * Improved sharing options: Users who visit a book have the option to share a book and specific chapters via social media. * LinkedIn and Email sharing options have been added in addition to X (formerly Twitter). * Book administrators can choose which sharing options to display by going to Appearance -> Theme Options -> Web Options. * Media Attributions displayed by default: Media attributions display the attribution information (media name, author, source, license, etc.) on uploaded media at the bottom of the chapter where they are inserted. This option is now turned on by default. * To remove the media attributions, go to Appearance -> Theme Options and uncheck the box that reads "Display attributions at the end of a chapter". * MathJax formulas render within Glossary Terms and TablePress tables. * Added new institutions and updated names of institutions. We are thoroughly testing the updated Pressbooks prior to the release and these improvements should not cause any issues with your existing books. But, if anything does come up, let us know right away at by replying to this email. Looking for more information? Check out the Pressbooks Updates page<https://open.bccampus.ca/pressbooks-updates/>.
