Updated version of Control Center

Starting on 19 February 2025, Pismo will begin a phased rollout of updates to the Control Center across all test (EXT) and production environments. The new version includes enhanced security and usability improvements.

Important: During this transition period, note the following:

• If you're using the updated version of Pismo Control Center, you will receive two emails containing important sign-on information. For details, refer to Get access.
• If you're using a version Control Center that hasn't been updated yet, no action is required. However, the Control Center documentation has been updated to reflect the new version. During the transition period, refer to the Legacy Control Center guide, which preserves documentation for Control Center features that have been changed by the update.

Which version do I have?

The simplest way to tell if you're using the updated Control Center is to refer to the application's sign-on screen. The updated sign-on screen features the Pismo logo and has the fields Username and Password.
