Business Central 2024 wave 2 (BC25): Manage environment updates more flexibly – Major update: 30(60) days -> 5-month and Optional minor updates

Dynamics 365 Business Central

Business Central 2024 wave 2 introduces more flexible environment update management with extended periods for major releases and optional minor updates.
Major updates now have a five-month update period, allowing for thorough testing and preparation before implementation.
Optional minor updates give administrators the choice of when and whether to implement minor updates based on their needs and schedule.
Business Central environments are updated according to the Business Central roadmap with two major updates in April and October each year, and monthly minor updates.
The major update period has been extended to 5 months to allow for more flexibility in scheduling and preparation.
Minor updates are still shipped monthly with automatic scheduling around a week after release.
From Business Central 2024 wave 2 (BC25), environment-level settings can be used to stop automatic scheduling of minor updates.
Major updates and minor updates for Business Central online are available for Microsoft-localized environments in Business Central 2024 wave 2 (BC25), with partner-localized environments needing to wait until Business Central 2025 wave 1 (BC26).
