 # Microsoft Whiteboard retirement evidence
 
 The site and the launch campaign state that Microsoft retires its standalone Whiteboard
-app on **September 14, 2026**, citing
-[Migration of Whiteboards from Azure to OneDrive](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/whiteboard/migration-of-whiteboards-from-azure-to-onedrive).
-Microsoft edits that page as the wind-down proceeds, and the date has already been moved
-out of the page's headline sections. This folder preserves the evidence behind the claim
-so it stays citable regardless of future edits.
+app on **October 16, 2026**, citing
+[Retirement of the standalone Microsoft Whiteboard apps](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/whiteboard/retirement-standalone-microsoft-whiteboard-apps).
+Microsoft has repeatedly edited its published schedule, so this folder preserves the
+evidence behind the claim — each revision as it stood — so it stays citable regardless
+of future edits.
 
-- [Microsoft Whiteboard shutdown (original date).png](<Microsoft Whiteboard shutdown (original date).png>) —
-  the "Final migration and retirement schedule" table as originally published, with
-  September 14, 2026 as its closing row: "The standalone Whiteboard apps for Windows,
-  iOS, and Android retire. Whiteboard remains available through Microsoft Teams and the
-  web."
-- [Archived copy of that revision](https://web.archive.org/web/20260818052606/https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/whiteboard/migration-of-whiteboards-from-azure-to-onedrive)
-  (Wayback Machine, August 18, 2026), where the September 14 date is clearly visible in
-  the schedule table.
+## Timeline of Microsoft's published schedule
 
-As of August 23, 2026 the live page still carries the sentence "The standalone Windows,
-iOS, and Android apps retire on September 14, 2026", but only in passing under
-"Migration trigger and eligible tenants". The schedule table now opens with the migration
-deadlines instead, which Microsoft slipped by roughly a month (migration end
-August 22 → September 25; permanent deletion September 5 → October 16; service shutdown
-November 30 added) while the app retirement date held.
+**As originally published** (see
+[Microsoft Whiteboard shutdown (original date).png](<Microsoft Whiteboard shutdown (original date).png>)
+and the [Wayback snapshot of August 18, 2026](https://web.archive.org/web/20260818052606/https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/whiteboard/migration-of-whiteboards-from-azure-to-onedrive)):
+migration ended August 22, remaining Azure boards were deleted September 5, and the
+standalone apps retired **September 14, 2026** — the closing row of the schedule table.
 
-When citing the retirement publicly:
+**Late August 2026:** the migration page slipped the migration deadlines by roughly a
+month (migration end August 22 → September 25; deletion September 5 → October 16;
+service shutdown November 30 added) while September 14 held, demoted to a passing
+sentence under "Migration trigger and eligible tenants".
+
+**August 28, 2026:** a dedicated retirement page appeared at the URL above, postponing
+the app retirement itself: "The standalone Microsoft Whiteboard apps for Windows, iOS,
+and Android retire on **October 16, 2026**." It also states that after that date,
+"already-installed apps display a retirement experience instead of opening the
+Whiteboard gallery". October 16 is also the date remaining Azure-based boards are
+permanently deleted.
+
+## Citing the retirement publicly
 
-- Say the app **"retires"** — Microsoft's own verb. Do not claim the app *stops working*
-  on September 14; installed copies may run for some time after.
 - Always scope the claim to the standalone **app**: Whiteboard itself remains available
   in Teams and on the web.
-- Quote the sentence verbatim, and prefer the archived copy or the bitmap over the live
-  page, which can change again.
+- Say the app **"retires"** on October 16 — and, quoting Microsoft, that installed apps
+  then display "a retirement experience instead of opening". Both are verbatim claims;
+  do not paraphrase beyond them.
+- Quote with a screenshot, and prefer an archived copy or the bitmap over the live
+  pages: the schedule changed three times in the ten days around our launch, and may
+  change again. Snapshot each revision to the Wayback Machine when it changes.
