SkieWhat do the release stats show?
Release stats show how far a version of the Skie app has spread: how many devices have updated, how many are still on an older version and which organisations have received it. They help the Skie team decide whether to widen, hold or pause a rollout, and they feed the on-latest-app figure you see in Insights.
A staged release is only safe if someone is watching it. Release stats are the watching.
For each release they show uptake: devices that have updated, devices still on an earlier version, and how that splits across the organisations the release has been offered to. A healthy rollout shows a steady climb among devices that are online. Devices that are off or out of signal simply wait, and they update when they next connect.
The same data is the base for a figure you can see yourself. In Insights, on latest app shows the share of your devices on the newest version. If the release has been offered to your organisation and the figure stays low for a long time, the devices that are behind are usually the ones that are not syncing. Look at them in the breach centre. See on latest app.
Stats do not make decisions on their own. They give the team facts to judge: is uptake smooth, are devices reporting after the update, is anything odd. If something is, they can pause the release using the releases screen, described in releases screen, before it reaches more organisations.
Skie does not publish timings for how long a release takes to spread, since that depends on how often devices connect. Practical tip: if you have a deadline, such as exams or a new term, ask the team about timing in advance, and make sure devices are charged and on Wi-Fi at the time.
