As soon as a new feature wave is released, all non-production and UAT environments are upgraded (within a few days).
There is then a 4 week window available for customers to carry out UAT activities on these non-production environments. Customers can ask for their production environments to be updated to the new feature wave within this period.
After 4 weeks, ALL production environments will be updated to the new feature wave, specifically on the 5th weekend after the feature wave release date.
We are expecting testing errors to be minimal as most new features can turned off, so end users will not be impacted after upgrade.
