Hi team,

What if we would have another 2 links in the email that gets sent to admins when an environment is scheduled for an update to a certain version, as follows:
- one link with latest functionality enhancements in that version (weather it is a minor or major release).
This link can then keep the partner informed of what new functionality is added to a particular system and would aid in deciding what old process can be replaced.
- one link (aimed for the developers) that would be also specific to that tenant and would tell you what extensions will break based on Microsoft's analysis on the installed extensions and the breaking changes introduced in the new version. A third link with all the breaking changes is also welcomed here.

Kind Regards,
Robert Bulugea

Thank you for this suggestion! Currently this is not on our roadmap. We are tracking this idea and if it gathers more votes and comments we will consider it in the future. Best regards, Business Central Team

Another enhancement related to this would be that the timezone for the updated tenant should be considered, or at least a specific window in the admin center to set the desired time of an update for a certain tenant, that you can set and forget just like the notification emails section.

That way any major update would take those as default and then they can be re-scheduled.

I would like to have some tenant specific information in the subject. Actually I have to open each mail to get this info.

Also add to the managed apps page in the admin center an "About this Update" that both Microsoft and ISV's can have a link to show what is new in the update or hotfix. It's gotten a lot better but not having release notes at this point is really not acceptable.

For the first one, the advantage is that on top of the wave releases where we are informed of all the changes to come in the new version, each minor release has it's own page with functionality enhancements and this is included in the email generated when you schedule an environment for update to that release. Thus making adoption easier in smaller bites.

For the second one, breaking changes for the installed apps would be better to be proactively worked one before the actual update is performed. This analysis can be done in the background when the tenant is not in use (for performance concerns).
