- Tool: The Strato component that the feature affects. This can either be Automate (Workflows), Documents/Forms, Platform, or Storage.
- Last Changed On: The most recent date and time when the feature was installed or uninstalled.
- Version: The current stage of development of the feature. This can either be Alpha, Beta, or Released.
- Status: The current status of the feature. This can either be Installed or Uninstalled.
Install and Uninstall Features
The Upgrade Center allows users to install and uninstall Alpha and Beta features by hovering over a feature and clicking the corresponding button.
For example, installing the New Design - Workflow Editor feature will allow the enhancement to automatically take effect upon refreshing.
Installing a feature will display Installed as its Status, and reflect the Last Changed On date and time. Users can uninstall the feature by hovering over it and clicking Uninstall.
Alpha and Beta Versions
There are various stages of feature availability within the Upgrade Center: Alpha, Beta, and Released. Each represents a distinct level of functionality, maturity, and stability.
- Alpha: The feature is still in active development and serves as an early version for initial feedback. Limited testing has been completed, and the goal is to gather insights that will help shape the final version.
- Beta: The feature is technically complete and stable enough for early use. While some components may still be under active development, the feature is suitable for use by select users.
- Released: The feature has completed all development and testing and is generally available. It is automatically deployed and available to all users without requiring manual installation.
