Open edX upgrades

Release-specific Open edX upgrade pages built on Tutor, covering breaking changes, data migrations and deprecations for each named release.

Open edX Ulmo to Verawood upgrade

Upgrading from Ulmo to Verawood with Tutor: the course ID uniqueness migration, MariaDB table rewrites, notifications on by default, the legacy library migration, extracted XBlocks and the new instructor dashboard and catalog defaults.

Preparing Open edX for the Willow release

What Verawood sites should do before Willow in December 2026: replace the MinIO plugin, move edx-val storage to Django STORAGES, test the extracted XBlocks and RBAC course authoring, and retire the legacy catalog.

Upgrading an unsupported Open edX release

Bringing a Redwood, Sumac or Teak site back to the supported release: stepping through Tutor major versions, forum and library data migrations on the way, rebuilding custom images and rebasing forks.
