Oracle Fusion Redwood defaults calendar
One place for HCM Redwood default switches and related notices across releases, with links to the detailed profile-option lists.
In short: Oracle is moving selected Fusion pages to Redwood by default on a published schedule. Fusion Updates groups those default switches and related HCM notices by release (26B (6), 26C (5), 26D (9), 27A (6), 27B (2), 27C (1)). Where Oracle says so, a profile option can still be set back to No. Drill into the 26D person, employment and workforce-structures lists for every profile option code, and into 27A Redwood defaults for early announcements.
HCM changes Oracle announces as Redwood default switches, end of support, migrations or removals. Not part of Oracle's Current Opt-In Expirations list and not counted as former opt-ins. Checked 2026-10-17.

Frequently asked questions
Can I keep an older page instead of Redwood?
Where Oracle provides a profile option, set it to No in Manage Administrator Profile Values. Oracle's feature page for each switch says whether that is available.
Is HCM on the opt-in expiration list?
No. Oracle announces HCM Redwood default switches separately. That is why this calendar exists alongside the former-opt-ins pages.
Are 27A items final?
They are announced in Oracle's 26C/26D documents. Oracle has not published full 27A What's New books yet, so re-check when those appear.
