Beta features
Get early access to pre-release functionality before it reaches general availability. Workspace admins can enable or disable beta access at any time.
Overview
The beta program gives your workspace early access to features that are actively being developed and refined. When beta features are enabled, your workspace receives access to all current beta-tier functionality as a single package — there are no per-feature toggles.
Participation is optional and entirely reversible. Enabling or disabling beta features will not break your existing workspace configuration or affect your data.
Beta features may change without notice. Behavior, availability, and interfaces are subject to change at any time during the beta period. Features are not guaranteed to reach general availability in their current form.
Features Currently in Beta
The following features are available to workspaces with beta features enabled. This list is updated alongside the release notes as features are added or promoted to GA.
NEW IN BETA
Simplified Chats: Groups and DMs, now in one chat space
The sidebar now combines Groups and DMs into a unified Chat section.
Why it matters: This UX improvement makes messaging feel more streamlined, organized, and easier to navigate.
On rare occasions, major features may have their own individual flag rather than being included in the package — this will be noted clearly in the release notes.
Enabling Beta Features
Only workspace admins can enable or disable the beta program. The setting is found in your workspace's general settings.
Navigate to Workspace Settings → Advanced
Toggle Turn on beta features to the on position
Confirm the prompt acknowledging that beta features may change without notice
Once enabled, beta features are available to all members of the workspace. Individual users cannot opt in or out independently — access is controlled at the workspace level.
Changes to the beta toggle may take some time to propagate across your entire workspace. Members may not see the update simultaneously — ask your team to refresh if access appears inconsistent.
What to Expect
Stability
Beta features have cleared internal review but may still contain rough edges. They do not carry the same reliability guarantees as GA features.
Changes without notice
Because beta is a pre-release environment, we may update, replace, or remove features at any point. We won't always be able to give advance warning. If a feature is removed, your workspace will simply revert to GA behavior — no data or configuration will be lost.
Documentation
Beta features are documented in-product and noted in release notes with a new in beta tag. They do not receive full standalone documentation until they reach general availability.
Support
Beta features are supported on a best-effort basis. If you encounter a bug or unexpected behavior, please report it through the standard feedback channel — your reports directly influence whether a feature makes it to GA.
Found a problem with a beta feature? Submit feedback directly in-product using the Share feedback option in the feature itself, or contact support with [BETA] in your subject line.
Release Notes
When new beta features are available, they'll be noted in the release notes. There are no separate announcements — keep an eye on the release notes to stay current. Features in beta are tagged inline so they're easy to identify.
Examples of how beta features appear in release notes:
New in Beta AI-assisted table generation in documents — available to workspaces with beta features enabled
New in Beta Inline comment threads on shared views — available to workspaces with beta features enabled
Now in GA AI-assisted table generation — previously in beta; now available to all workspaces with full docs
When a feature graduates from beta to GA, it becomes available to all workspaces automatically with full documentation and standard support.
Opting Out
You can turn off beta features at any time using the same toggle in workspace settings. When you opt out:
Beta features are immediately hidden from all workspace members
No data created or modified with beta features will be deleted
Workspace settings and permissions are unaffected
You can re-enable beta features at any time without consequence
If your team has been actively using a beta feature, disabling access may disrupt in-progress workflows. Communicate the change to your team before opting out.
FAQ
Can individual members opt into beta without admin action?
No. Beta access is controlled exclusively at the workspace level by workspace admins. Individual members cannot enable or disable beta independently.
Can I choose which beta features to enable?
Not currently. The toggle enables all current beta features as a package. Occasionally, large or high-impact features may have their own individual flag — this will be noted clearly in the release notes for that feature.
Will I lose data if a beta feature is removed?
No. Removing a feature from beta affects access to the UI or functionality, not the underlying data. Any content created via a beta feature is retained.
Is there a cost to participate in the beta program?
Beta features are included in your existing plan at no additional cost.
How will I know when a beta feature is promoted to GA?
Promotions are announced in the release notes with a Now in GA tag. Once promoted, the feature is available to all workspaces without any action needed, and full documentation is published.
