Mustafa Musaji commented on JBDS-2745:
--------------------------------------

So "experimental" is the right category they would fall in to? I'm just trying to be sure we're not talking about yet another content type [1] for no reason.

[~maxandersen] - Include the BETA tooling in the Central as mark that as "Tech Preview"? At the moment we're giving the BETA tooling update site link to customer that raise cases related to this.

> It's been suggested that it would be nice to have Central available to install non-GA content. How might this appear?
>  [~burrsutter], [~maxandersen], are we talking about:
> * an additional dialog warning users about untested content? (that might be ignored / blindclicked)
> * an additional tab in Central for this type of content (what label would you use?)
> * relabelling the content's feature descriptions / titles / copyright / license terms to be clear it's unstable content? (might be ignored)
> * some other workflow?
