What Is A Release Wave?

Let’s start with, what actually is a release wave? These release waves come twice a year, every year. One in April and the second in September but we always try to bring you the news of what’s coming early. Each wave has three stages…

  • Early access
  • Public Preview
  • General Availability

For the most part, you’ll see the functionality become available to you in the general availability, but in some cases, you may get early access to the features.
