The Red Hat Partner Connect Program has gone through several iterations over the years, and our online partner experience is changing too. Over the past few months our team has improved the user experience with some important updates.

1. New Design 

The Red Hat Partner Connect public website has been redesigned to be more accessible and user friendly. It is easier to search through the home page and find program benefits and support. Take advantage of the new headers which make it easy to navigate to main areas.

4. Documentation 

Our team has been working on creating more documentation around the workflow and certification process. Take a look at our updated documentation found here: https://redhat-connect.gitbook.io/certification-guides/

 

5. Site Status

If you cannot access these features or specific sites within our collection of connected partner sites, you can now check to see if the website is down by going to: status.redhat.com. The new status page helps keep you updated and informed of any outages or maintenance scheduled. You can also subscribe to get real time updates via email or phone.
