Databricks regularly releases previews to allow you to evaluate and provide feedback on features before they're generally available (GA). Previews come in various degrees of maturity, each of which is defined in this article. The following tables list Databricks support options associated with each release type.
For information on accessing preview releases, see Manage Databricks Previews.
