Switching to Test Versions

You can switch the CDESK Application from the production version to the Beta/Alpha test version. Versions that come directly out of development are referred to as Alpha and versions that have passed basic testing are referred to as Beta versions. Do not make the switch unless you have checked with CDESK support, as a particular Alpha/Beta version may not be suitable for your environment. You must also expect a higher labor intensity when upgrading to a more stable version, which must be done by uninstalling and installing the CDESK client. The switch can be done in My Profile -> Settings -> Gear icon.
