Blackboard SaaS 4001.0.0: Feature Production Release (postponed from Sep 3, NOW SCHEDULED FOR OCT 1)Scheduled for Oct 1, 2026 · 24h 0mScheduled

We will be undergoing scheduled maintenance during this time. --- [2026-09-15T10:49:40.159-04:00] (scheduled) Blackboard SaaS 4001.0.0, originally scheduled for release on September 3, 2026, will be deployed to Production environments on October 1, 2026. Refer to the published release schedule for full details on future releases: https://help.anthology.com/blackboard/administrator/en/whats-new/blackboard-release-schedule.html --- [2026-08-28T17:35:00.490-04:00] (scheduled) THE DATE SHOWN IS AN ESTIMATE ONLY. THE CONFIRMED RELEASE DATE WILL BE PROVIDED AS SOON AS IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED. After careful consideration and continued testing with customers, we have decided to delay the release Blackboard SaaS 4001.0.0, from September 3, 2026, with a tentative end date of October 1, 2026, due to an important update to Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), a standard many institutions use to securely authenticate users and provide access to Blackboard LMS. The update requires customers who use SAML to review and test their current authentication configurations and, in some cases, make configuration changes. We are delaying the release to give affected customers time to complete the necessary testing and updates. System Administrators: - If you do not use SAML to authenticate users, no action is needed on your part. - If you do use SAML to authenticate users, full instructions for verifying and testing both changes are in our Support Advisory: Blackboard Security Update — SAML SSO Configuration Changes. https://support.anthology.com/s/article/Blackboard-Security-Update-SAML-SSO-configuration-changes

Blackboard Inc. Status FAQ

Is Blackboard Inc. down right now?

The verdict at the top of this page comes from the latest poll of the official Blackboard Inc. status feed and refreshes automatically, so you are not looking at a stale cached answer. PulsAPI re-checks a vendor every 60 seconds whenever it is not fully operational, or has changed status in the last 30 minutes, so an incident is always on the fastest cadence. Vendors that are stable and rarely watched are re-checked every 5 to 20 minutes instead.

What should I do if Blackboard Inc. is not working?

Check the component list on this page first to see if your failure matches a known outage. If it does, you can report the issue for other engineers, follow the incident timeline for vendor updates, and run any fallback your app supports until Blackboard Inc. recovers.

How do I check Blackboard Inc. uptime history?

PulsAPI tracks Blackboard Inc. uptime over 30, 60, and 90-day rolling windows. The current 30-day uptime is 100.00%. The 90-day uptime strip on this page is public: no account needed. A free account adds alerts whenever Blackboard Inc. changes state, plus 15 days of incident detail; Pro extends that to 90 days and Business to 13 months.

How fast does PulsAPI detect Blackboard Inc. outages?

PulsAPI reads the official Blackboard Inc. status page. PulsAPI re-checks a vendor every 60 seconds whenever it is not fully operational, or has changed status in the last 30 minutes, so an incident is always on the fastest cadence. Vendors that are stable and rarely watched are re-checked every 5 to 20 minutes instead. Alerts reach Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, or email within seconds of detection.

Does PulsAPI track individual Blackboard Inc. components?

Yes. PulsAPI monitors 61 individual Blackboard Inc. components, so you can see which service or region is affected instead of a generic "service degraded" banner.

Can I get alerts when Blackboard Inc. goes down?

Yes. Create a free account and subscribe to Blackboard Inc.: the free plan covers three services with unlimited email alerts and no monthly notification cap. Paid plans lift the monitor limit entirely (Pro and above do not meter how many vendors you watch) and route the same alerts into Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty and webhooks.

How do I report an issue with Blackboard Inc. to the community?

Click "Report an issue" at the top of this page, pick the issue type and severity, and optionally add your region and a short note. Reports are anonymous and help other engineers spot Blackboard Inc. problems early. Official status pages often lag real incidents by 10 to 20 minutes.

Is there a free way to monitor Blackboard Inc.?

Yes. The free plan covers 3 monitored services with unlimited email alerts, permanently, so Blackboard Inc. plus two more costs nothing. Every new account also opens with a 30-day Business trial (unlimited monitors, Slack alerts, SLA reporting) with no credit card.
