Who is affected

Teams that use Postmortems: Lose it on October 31, 2026.

Export takes some work. Do not leave it for the last day.

The date to remember is October 31, 2026. After that, it may be too late to save what you need.

What to do before October 31

  1. Download your postmortems. Save all postmortem data before October 31, 2026. It will not be there after.
  2. Try Post-Incident Reviews. Set up one review in the PagerDuty web app and check it covers what you need.
  3. Keep a copy outside PagerDuty. Store the downloaded reviews where your team can still read them.

A few rules help every move go well:

  • Save what you can first. Pick the new tool after that.
  • Keep every export in two places, like your laptop and a cloud drive.
  • Test the new tool with a small part of your data before you move it all.
  • Tell your users or team once, in one short and clear message.

How to tell your users

Send one short email. Say what changed, where to find you now, and what they need to do. Put the most important line first.

If there is a date, send a short reminder a few days before it. Keep a copy of the list you sent it to.
