Planned retirements
There are times where a feature is no longer used or a better feature is created to replace it. The following list indicates items that are being evaluated for deprecation on Stanford Sites.
| Feature | Release | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Event Series This rarely used feature can now be created using Teasers. | TBD | In progress |
| Oembed field All Oembeds can can be delivered with a richer set of features and accessibility options via the embeddable field. | TBD | Evaluation |
| Social Media Icons on News Norms for the display of social media sharing icons on individual news items has changed. Site owners who still wish to provide sharing options for individual news items will be able to use third-party tools to replace this functionality with much better options for customization. | TBD | Evaluation |
| Filtered List Pages The functionality of the pre-installed Filtered Lists Pages can be provided (and improved) by the use of the Filtered Lists Paragraph. This deprecation will only affect new sites. Retirement will not include existing sites. | TBD | Evaluation |
