Issue 25 of D365 Marketing Weekly

Thank you to so many of you who supported me this past week by donating or sending me messages of encouragement. I walked 50 KM (31.34 miles) in about 9 hours and 48 minutes. It was tough, emotional but still fun! So glad I did it, and I have been able to raise over £1,650 for the Alzheimer’s Society so far. If you would still like to contribute towards the charity, the link is still open below.

Quick little post for you on a few changes when you manage and are installing updates for D365 Marketing (yes, I know, Customer Insights Journeys but I still can’t let go of it yet). The process is pretty much the same, but the screens are definitely different, AND there is now a place to manage ALL environments which is great for a System Administrator wanting to keep all environments up to date.
