CRM 2015 Update 1 is OUT! (CRM Online)

CRM 2015 Update 1 (AKA: .v7.1; Carina) has been out for a few weeks now.

Microsoft started rolling out CRM 20125 for Online instances back in December 2015, and now it’s time to do the same for 2015 U1.

For on-premises, this update is scheduled to be released in Q4 2014 (source 1 ; source 2).

This is a very exiting release, as it brings a plethora of new features and improvements, some of them long-awaited (Microsoft seems to be listening loud and clear partners and customers suggestions).

Even the web UI has had a distinctive change (if you see the UX in the image below, then you are on Update 1 already, ;))

If you want to know what’s in the box, check out some of my previous posts:

  1. Hi,

    Thanks for sharing the above information.

    A cloud client of ours selected to upgrade back in Feb, although at this time the Carina updated wasn’t available.

    The scheduled upgrade happened, and update Carina wasn’t applied.

    Any suggestions on how they can get the Carina update applied?

    Thanks

  2. Approval/Scheduling of updates is available through O365 Administration site (direct lnk should be similar to: https://port.crm4.dynamics.com/G/UpgradeSchedule/index.aspx) When U1 is available for the organization it should show there.

    Update availability will depend on the region, country, etc, would suggest one of the following:

    1. Wait a little bit more
    2. Raise a support request with Microsoft from you O365 instance (if you are pretty sure it should be available for you already)
    3. As in the community site (https://community.dynamics.com/crm)
