20R2 Maintenance Releases

A maintenance release contains fixes for issues that affect customers in production environments.

Note Beginning with 23R3 content and for all subsequent releases, Vault Release Notes is the official site for Vault Safety release notes.

A maintenance release contains fixes for issues affecting customer Vaults. Maintenance releases can occasionally include enhancements, for example, a time-sensitive regulatory requirement.

We communicate 24 hours prior to a maintenance release when there will be a short service disruption during deployment. The Veeva Trust Site provides the most up to date information on Vault's service status. Check this site to view the current status of Vault PODs and upcoming scheduled system maintenance.

The contents is subject to change until the release occurs. When we identify items for a maintenance release, we attempt to get them into the earliest release possible.

Sometimes, we target a specific release but are not able to deliver an update early enough for full testing. In situations like this, we postpone the update for a later release and strike out the description in this list.

Veeva frequently delivers maintenance releases for the Vault Platform. Vault Safety deploys these Vault Platform maintenance releases at a later date. For details on the Vault Platform fixes in these maintenance releases, see Vault 20R2 Maintenance Releases.

Note This page covers maintenance releases deployed to General Release vaults only.
