What is Technology Preview

Learn about the Technology Preview phase of some features in the Creative Cloud applications, how they differ from Beta features, and how to access them.

Technology Preview is the preview of features that are in development for you to try out. These features may not be completely production-ready yet, so exercise discretion while using them.

What is Technology Preview?

Technology Preview is a label for a feature rolled out with limited capabilities. Once the feature is evolved, the technology preview label will be removed.

You can work with technology preview features in the following Creative Cloud apps:

Adobe Photoshop | Adobe Illustrator 

What is the difference between Beta and Technology Preview?

Beta features are generally available in beta releases whereas technology preview features are available as part of the full release. Moreover, a feature is moved to technology preview from beta only after improving its quality and functionality through user feedback.

When is the final release for these features?

We want to receive your feedback and improve them further. Once a feature fully evolves, the Technology Preview label will be removed.

Do we have customer support?

Partially, yes. As these features are in preview, you may not get complete customer support now.

Are there any restrictions to use these features?

No. You can use these features similarly to any other feature. However, Photoshop users can check or uncheck the technology preview features. For more information, See Technology Preview in Photoshop.

List of Technology Preview features

Here's a list of features from other Creative Cloud Applications that are in the Technology Preview phase:

Vectorize (Illustrator on the iPad)

You can now convert raster images (JPEG, PNG, PSD, and more) to vector art and edit the artwork. Capture an image or place an image from the iPad, convert it to vector image, and use the Vectorize options to modify the properties of the vector image. Also, you can convert the image into vector object with fills, strokes, and paths that can be edited.
