## What’s changing?

Starting with Desktop App v6.4 (November 2026), the app will no longer strip the server subpath from paths sent by Boards. This removes a workaround that caused “Team not found” errors when a team name matched the subpath.

## Why are we making this change?

The subpath-stripping workaround was a source of navigation bugs. Boards v9.4.0 fixes path handling on its end, so the Desktop App workaround is no longer needed.

## Who may be affected?

Servers with a subpath configured in their Site URL running Boards below v9.4.0. Deployments without a subpath are unaffected.

## What do you need to do as an administrator?

Update the Boards plugin to v9.4.0 or later before updating the Desktop App, following the [Boards installation instructions](https://docs.mattermost.com/administration-guide/configure/install-boards.html). Older Boards versions may show navigation errors once the Desktop App is updated.

## When does this take effect?

Desktop App v6.4, releasing November 2026.
