Insider Previews

The Insider Previews give you the chance to test and try out new functions in advance. You are therefore part of the beta phase and can give us feedback in advance about missing functions, bugs or similar. We recommend that you first test these new functions in a staging environment and then use them in the production environment.

Information on the new functions

You can access the info area for the Insider Preview in the Help menu(1) at the top right of the Admin to inform you about the upcoming functions.

The additional frame for the Insider Previews is displayed in the Help menu.

You will also be notified whether a new feature is available to try out.

To start the preview of a feature, first click on the View features -> (1) button to access the overview of available features.

In order to use the Insider Previews, you must first agree that we may address or read certain API endpoints.

Possible feature types

Functions from the following areas are offered here.

  • Blueprint: This label is used to identify more experimental functions, which we will initially release in a minimal feature set.
    These Features can, but do not have to be finalized. Think of it more as a "We can imagine that it would be interesting for you".
    You can give us feedback on whether the area is interesting and to what extent it should be improved or expanded.
    Depending on the feedback, these features may not be pursued or implemented.

  • Beta: These Features are more like a "first release candidate". You can activate them and test them in advance.
    Not everything may be "smooth" yet and errors occur. However, you have the chance to participate in the development at a very early stage.
    The feedback flows directly into the development, so that as few problems as possible occur in later operation.

Activate the Feature

A list of the available features will be displayed in an overview. Separate documentation pages will be available for each individual feature.

To activate the feature, click on the Enable(1) button to activate it.

Most features also contain a link to our feedback portal so that you can give us your opinion and suggestions for improvement directly.

Before you can use the features of the Insider Previews, you have to activate the transmission of anonymized data in Settings > System > Share data.

If this is not yet activated, you will receive a message during activation.
