Where do Hosts find information on new changes to site functions and new Airbnb Policy?

Hi, Many hosts say they know or have heard that this new function or that new policy is in effect or coming into effect - how do you know? 

Is there a dedicated area somewhere on this site with such updates? I do not receive any emails or newsletters with changes, except Media interest ones such as anti-discrimination. I only ever find out about other ones if someone posts about them here, usually because it has caused confusion.

We don't.  I suppose that is a way of keeping us here - doing airbnb customer service for free.

A good website to keep an eye on is All About Airbnb.

 

They often publish news about product updates, new features and tests that Airbnb is running, even if they haven't been announced.

 

For example, they recently published a good explanation of the changes Airbnb is planning for its cancellation policies and host fees (here http://all-about-airbnb.com/post/150660669911/new-cancellation-policies-and-increased-host-fees).

@Alessandro3   Thank you!  Very interesting, a ton of stuff I did not know about.

@Alessandro3 thanks for sharing!

Has been discussed that there should be a change log or an email, but have never seen anything, a mystery.
