# Switching To Preview ODK Versions

The ODK Launcher has two streams which are:

**Public**: This version of the ODK is released to all developers.

**Preview**: This version we grant early access to new ODK features for early testing. Once the preview version has been publically released you will need to switch back to Public and we will remove you from the Preview stream.\
\
If you need to access a preview version of the ODK you will need to reach out to your Yuga Representative who can organise this. Developers need to be given special access permissions to use this stream. 

If you are switching to Preview then please follow this guide for how to do so.
