What are some of the main benefits of a continuous preview channel?
Starting in 2023, we plan three major releases per year (January, May, and September). In addition, we plan 12 monthly preview releases.

A preview/beta version also provides access to the upcoming new features, so you can explore and try the new functionalities, see if and how they interact with your existing solutions, and provide feedback if you wish to do so.

Note: We recommend using preview/beta versions against an environment where it is safe if everything doesn't work 100% correctly, such as Dev, Testing, or Pre-Prod. In the preview, we cannot guarantee that errors or problems don't occur – and it is one of the main points of a preview/beta version to try identifying them. On the other hand, the more similar the environment to the actual production the better, since data volume, configuration details, and other specifics might matter.
