At Uscreen, we occasionally release features as "Beta” versions.

These beta features are optional, early-access tools that are still in development and may be experimental or somewhat unstable.

Beta releases allow our most forward-thinking customers to try out new improvements and share valuable feedback before the feature becomes fully polished.

What Is a Beta?

A beta feature is an early-access feature or improvement that is still undergoing development. Here’s what to expect from beta features:

Experimental: Betas may have limited functionality and could change as we continue to refine them.
Potential Instability: These features might not always perform as expected.
Ongoing Improvements: Uscreen plans regular updates and iterations based on user feedback.
Supporting Resources: Betas come with help articles and tutorial videos to guide users.
Temporary Access: Beta features are typically available for several months before a full, stable release.
Feedback Opportunities: We actively encourage feedback to shape these features before the official launch.

Types of Beta Access

Not all beta features work the same way. Depending on the feature, you may encounter one of two stages:

Closed Beta

Closed beta features are invite-only and available to a limited group of stores. These are in early development and shared with select users to gather focused feedback before a wider rollout.

Open Beta (Early Access)

Open beta features are available to more (if not all) stores and are in a more advanced stage of testing. They're functional and ready for real-world use, but may still change as we gather feedback and make improvements.

💡 TIP: When a beta feature is enabled on your account, look for the "Beta" label in your settings to easily identify it.

What to Expect

Things may change: Beta features can be updated, adjusted, or removed based on feedback and development progress.
Feedback is welcome: Your input directly shapes how these features evolve.
Support is available: Beta features come with help articles and resources to guide you through setup and use.

📝 NOTE: Beta features may not always perform as expected. If you run into issues, reach out to our support team.
