Updated over a week ago

From time to time CloudExtend may make a Preview Version of an App available for a limited period of time. The Preview Version gives customers early access to new features and an opportunity to provide engineers with valuable feedback.

We recommend you check with your Admin before installing any Preview software in the event they prefer to install it for you from their Office 365 portal or if they would prefer you not to install it.

Installing the Preview Version

Installing the Preview Version involves removing your current Production version and then installing the Preview version.
