Preview Program
IBM Security offers two programs for previewing features in development: Private Preview and Public Preview, described below. Typically, features graduate from Private Preview to Public Preview status, although a feature could in some cases go directly from Private Preview to General Availability (GA).
To submit feedback, use the feedback button near the top right corner of every Verify Privileged Identity Platform page. The feedback you provide during the preview period is crucial input for further feature refinement and enhancing overall usability.
Public Preview
You can now choose to opt in to the Public Preview program on your own, to experience and explore new Platform enhancements and provide feedback before their official General Availability (GA) release.
You cannot opt into or out of individual Public Preview features. When you opt in, you opt in to all Public Preview features, and when you opt out, you opt out of all Public Preview features. Public Preview features appear on the customer documentation portal as any GA feature would but with a notation at the top specifying that the feature is available only as a Public Preview.
