Adobe Creative Cloud Beta FAQ

Which apps are included in the beta program?

Adobe has new betas available all the time. To access some of our popular betas, see Popular beta offerings.

How do I install the Creative Cloud beta apps?

In the Creative Cloud desktop app, select Beta apps in the left sidebar of the Apps panel. Then select Install for your beta app. You can run beta builds side by side with the release versions of the apps.

Where are beta apps installed?

Beta builds are installed in their own folder—for example, Adobe Character Animator (Beta)—separate from the release versions of the app. This lets you evaluate beta builds without affecting the work you're doing with the release versions. Beta apps have separate preferences and default user documents folders that won't change the user settings in your existing installation. 

What beta app usage information does Adobe collect, and what are my choices?

To personalize your experience and improve our products, Adobe may collect the following information:

• System information, such as devices, operating system, amount of memory installed, and screen resolution
• Adobe product information, such as version number
• Information about your documents, such as the number of pages and unique document identifiers (but not the content in your documents)
• Document usage information, such as how many times you open a document
• How you interact with the Adobe apps and how the Adobe apps interact with your content, including the features you use and the options you select

Your regular app settings don't apply to beta apps. If you don't want to share beta app usage information with Adobe, you can continue to use the release versions of our apps.

How do I open beta apps?

How do I leave the beta program?

To leave the beta program, simply uninstall the beta builds at any time through the Creative Cloud desktop app.

Can beta apps be enabled to update automatically?

Beta builds are updated periodically. You can update beta builds when they become available.

You can also enable the Auto-update option for your apps in the Creative Cloud desktop app:

Enterprise customer? Your organization may have disabled the auto-update option. Contact your IT department for further assistance.
