As a part of the ongoing lifecycle of product innovation, we sometimes discontinue the sale and support of certain products and services. On December 31st, 2024, this discontinuance will apply to the Discussion Board feature within LiveText by Watermark.
Why are we making this decision?
Removing functionality is always a tough decision, as we know there will always be some users who find value and utility in the feature provided. After considering very low and declining usage and the various options to ensure the functionality continues to be stable and meet user expectations, we have determined that continuing to maintain this underutilized feature is not feasible. Therefore, we have made the decision to remove Discussion Boards from LiveText by Watermark at the end of the year
What does this mean to me?
This change will remove the discussion board feature that would allow an administrator or instructor to post discussions to either the Community, a course, or within a LiveText document. No other functionality will be impacted.
No replacement of the discussion board functionality is planned for LiveText by Watermark.
