I’m happy to announce the plan to upgrade MFEs to React 18 for the Teak release!

This work is being tracked in [React 18 Upgrade · Issue #429 · openedx/platform-roadmap · GitHub](https://github.com/openedx/platform-roadmap/issues/429)

The high-level plan is to:

- Update MFE dependencies (such as `frontend-build` and `frontend-platform`) to support React 18 in a **non-breaking** manner
- Update all Tutor-supported MFEs to React 18

The non-breaking nature of the dependency updates means that any MFEs that are not upgraded to React 18 as part of this effort **will still work** with their current verison of React.

I’d like to thank @braden for updating Paragon to support React 18 (this would not be possible without that), and @agstanki for getting the ball rolling on the other dependency updates!

If you have any questions, I’m more than happy to answer any posted in this thread. I will also be attending the next Maintenance WG meeting (2025-02-20) for synchronous discussion.
