# Beta Programs

Try new OutSmart features early, join open betas, and share feedback.

**Beta Programs** let you try selected OutSmart features before full release.

Use them to test new workflows early and help shape the final result.

{% hint style="info" %}
Browse and enroll in beta features for your organization.
{% endhint %}

### How Beta Programs work

A beta is a feature that is still being developed or refined.

You choose whether to turn it on for your organization.

When you join a beta, the feature becomes active for your organization.

When you leave, the feature switches off again.

### Beta statuses

Every beta shows a status.

The status tells you what action is available.

* **In development** — the feature is being built and cannot be joined yet
* **In beta** — the feature is open for testing
* **Live** — the feature is finished and generally available

### Browse the beta list

The Beta Programs page groups features into four views.

* **All** — every beta available to your organization
* **Your Betas** — betas your organization has joined
* **Interested** — betas you marked with **I'm interested**
* **Available** — betas you can join now

You can also use search and filters to narrow the list.

### Join or leave a beta

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open Beta Programs

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Find the beta

Use the sidebar, search, or filters to find the right feature.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Open the beta

Read the **About** and **Details** tabs first.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Choose an action

Click **Join beta** to enable the feature.

Click **I'm interested** if the beta is not open yet.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Share feedback

Use the **Feedback survey** link while you test.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Leave if needed

Leave the beta to switch the feature off again.

You are asked for a reason when you leave.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Why a beta might not be available

Some betas have requirements before you can join.

* your package might need to be higher
* a module might need to be enabled first
* another beta or add-on might be required
* the beta can have limited spots

If you cannot join, the beta explains why.

### Tabs inside a beta

Each beta page includes:

* **About** — what the feature does and why it matters
* **Details** — setup and usage information
* **Updates** — progress and release notes during the beta

### Support during a beta

{% hint style="warning" %}
Beta features are not covered by regular support channels.

Use the **Feedback survey** on the beta page instead.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledge.out-smart.com/beta-programs/beta-programs.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
