Scheduled Changes To Birst Platform

Adobe plans to end-of-life Flash in 2020. Support for Flash will be fully removed from most browsers in December 2020, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer. In response, Birst will no longer support the Flash user interface following the 2020 deprecation.

Your work will not be lost when your browser stops supporting Flash. The spaces you have created via Classic Admin will be accessible and editable in the Birst 7 user interface.

For the most up-to-date content on Flash deprecation, see either this KB article.
