Release stages
What do "private preview", "public beta", and "general availability" mean for a Soda feature? Learn what to expect at each stage.
Soda releases each feature in stages to guarantee your organization has access to stable, supported functionalities.
Currently, a feature can be in one of three stages:
Private preview
A private preview is an early release to a limited group of users. A private preview feature does not appear in Soda Cloud until it has received feedback from our design partners.
The feature is under active development.
Functionality, configuration, and interface can change.
Documentation covers the main workflow and may not be complete.
To ask about access, contact support@soda.io.
Public beta
A public beta is available to every eligible organization. You do not need to request access. If the feature applies to your plan, it will be available in Soda Cloud automatically.
Soda will keep refining the feature based on user feedback.
Functionality and documentation can change before general availability.
Configuration you create during the beta continues to work as the feature develops.
You may encounter edge cases that have not been documented yet.
Send questions, problems, and feedback to support@soda.io. Feedback during a public beta directly shapes what changes before the feature becomes generally available.
General availability
A generally available feature is fully released and stable. It is available to all eligible organizations, documented in full, covered by standard support, and carries no stage label.
Identify the stage of a feature
Each feature's documentation states its stage at the top of the page.
In Soda Cloud, look for the Preview or Beta label next to the feature.
Generally available features do not carry a label.
