# Set a go-live date for your site

When planning your first SitecoreAI site launch, you can notify Sitecore of your planned go-live date to activate hypercare processes and provide targeted guidance around your launch.

Go-live planning is available to all SitecoreAI customers for their first Sitecore go-live, including customers migrating from XP.

After you submit your planned go-live date, the information is stored in Sitecore's support systems so that our Support team can prepare for your launch. You may receive emails with guidance, recommended actions, and information about the go-live process. Prior to your go-live date, Sitecore will activate hypercare support to increase the visibility and priority of any support cases you open during this period.

![The Add go-live date dialog in the Sitecore Cloud Portal](https://doc.sitecore.com/api/markdown-image/portal/en/developers/sitecore-cloud-portal/images/sitecore-cloud-portal-go-live-date.jpg)

    Alternatively, in the right-hand Quick links panel, click **Help** > **Add go-live date**.

2. In the **Add go-live date** dialog, select your planned go-live date.

    > [!warning]
