There are no specific questions to answer or workflows to try, we just ask that you use the Beta version in your day-to-day work and let us know of any issues you encounter or any features you've found that don't work as expected.

Who can use it?
There's no sign-up necessary to try out Grapher Beta, you just need to download and install the Beta build. If you have a Grapher license under active maintenance, you will be able to use the Beta build in lieu of, or in addition to, your current version of Grapher until your maintenance expires. Grapher Beta is not available to Trial users or customers with expired maintenance.
- If you have a Grapher license that has expired maintenance, you will need to purchase a maintenance renewal to use Grapher Beta.
- If you have an old Grapher license that does not have maintenance, you will need to purchase a new license to enroll in software maintenance and use Grapher Beta.
- If you are currently using the Grapher Trial then you will need to purchase a Grapher license to access Grapher Beta.
