Microsoft postponed the standalone Whiteboard app retirement from September 14 to October 16, 2026, on a new dedicated page (Retirement of the standalone Microsoft Whiteboard apps) that also states installed apps will then "display a retirement experience instead of opening".

  • Both hero SVGs: date text and aria-labels updated; timing comments made date-shift-proof
  • site/index.html caption + alt and site/compare.html: new date, links moved to the new support page
  • Card PNGs re-rendered from the updated SVGs with tools/render-cards.ps1 (og-image and hero were unaffected and rendered byte-identical)
  • docs/retirement/README.md rewritten as a timeline of Microsoft's three schedule revisions, with citing rules updated — "the app stops opening on October 16" is now quotable, in Microsoft's own words

Merging deploys the site with the corrected claim.

Microsoft postponed the standalone Whiteboard app retirement from
September 14 to October 16, 2026 on a new dedicated support page, which
also states that installed apps then display a retirement experience
instead of opening. Both hero SVGs, the index caption and alt text, and
compare.html now carry the new date and link to the new page; the card
PNGs are re-rendered from the updated SVGs; docs/retirement/README.md
becomes a timeline of Microsoft's three schedule revisions with the
citing rules updated to match.
