    I couldn't make this up if I tried
    Via the updated Partner Communication Guidelines in the Partner Hub

    And those of you writing press releases - don't think you are getting away from this - Sage wants them with a 4 week lead time as well.

    What is this? The 1770's all over again? Appears the UK monarchy is trying to control the colonists.

    Here are Sage's guidelines from a 2017 publication. They ask for 2 weeks approval on press releases -- three weeks if during a busy Sage Summit type event.

    I'm not sure that anything materially changed in the area of press releases except now they advise up to 4 weeks.

    Perhaps they are adding in social media and blogging to the list of things they want oversight/approval on.

    Given Sage's competitive situation I'm not sure why they'd push partners away from giving them more publicity.

    Maybe they question whether the "publicity" will be positive.

    Sounds like something out of central planning for Russia and China.  Toe the party line or we will crush you!  So much for late breaking news....  Maybe this will keep the bug announcements and the bug Hot Fixes in sync.

    "Hmmm ... we seem to be getting neutral and even unflattering articles from the press and partners. What should we do?"

    "Gee, sir, maybe we should listen to the commentary and improve our products to better serve customers and make our partners proud of their choices?"

    <massive outburst of laughter for minutes>

    "Ok, ok, people. Let's calm down and hear some serious suggestions."

    I just saw this wording in the Social Media section:
    "Any Sage-related news communicated in a partner's Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn post must be consistent
    with Sage messaging, be accurate"
    It is often impossible to do both

    "If a post violates these guidelines, Sage reserves the right to ask that changes be made to the post or that the post be removed altogether."
    Is this even legal??

    They can ask. 
    What kind of penalties are possible for ignoring a request would probably be governed by the partner agreement.
    For any claims of libel: truth is the best defense against that.

    So long as there is an economic penalty, Sage can do whatever they want.
