Overview

Prior to each major release, you'll get access to a Preview version of Visier where you can get a sneak peek at the newest features and enhancements. The Preview release includes a frozen snapshot of your current data so you can explore and try the new functionality. Changes that you make in Preview will not affect the current Production version. When the Preview period ends these changes will not be copied over to Production.

The Preview release is not the official release version. This means that some features may be missing or may not work as expected.

To access Preview during the Preview period, click the Preview version button on the navigation bar.

Note: Administrators have access to the Preview release by default.
