Release Notes on Qlik Community

[Jamie_Gregory]

The Release Notes for Qlik Sense Enterprise recently moved to Qlik Community from the Qlik Download site. This guide will walk through accessing the new page and finding the Release Notes.

Only Release Notes for Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows, Qlik Sense Desktop and Qlik Sense Mobile are available. More products will be available during the year.

Moving the Release Notes from the Qlik Download site to Qlik Community is a small (but exciting!) step in a long-term strategy. We are happy to receive feedback and suggestions on improving the page to make it easier to find relevant information.

Navigating to the Release Notes Page

Navigating to the Release Notes page is simple! Simply go to Qlik Community then to Support > Release Notes.

The Release Notes page can be filtered by:

@Jamie_Gregory - how do we access old release notes? e.g. if we had a customer wanting to upgrade from a very old version of QlikView (e.g. 12.20) and need to review all the changes to the latest release, where do these live now? We used to be able to get them from the old download site but they haven't been migrated to the new downloads or community area. Do we have to request this from support or is there an archive somewhere I'm missing?
