1. Introduction

This document details what features, updates, and bug fixes are new in the Neat Preview channel when compared to the Stable update channel.

To switch to the Preview update channel on your Neat device, enter your Neat system settings and follow the menu path System -> Software update -> Update channel -> Preview Channel.

If you had opted out of automatic upgrades by disabling ‘Automatic updates’ on your Neat device, please note that it will remain on the existing software release and will not upgrade. If you would like to upgrade to the latest release, please enable ‘Automatic updates’ and the Neat device(s) will download the latest firmware release and upgrade the Preview channel as above. Automatic updates can be toggled by going into Neat’s System settings (from Neat Pad or Neat Board) -> System -> Software Update.
