Sumo Logic uses a standardized Customer Preview program to bring customers into early access for new products and features before they reach general availability (GA). Participating in a Preview gives you the opportunity to explore upcoming capabilities, validate them in your environment, and share feedback that directly shapes product development.

Work with your account team to learn more about available Previews and to sign up for early access.

:::info What to Expect
When participating in a Preview, understand that:
- Features may evolve before general availability
- There may be known limitations or issues
- Participation may require providing feedback (calls, surveys)
- Support levels may vary depending on the stage
:::

Each preview tier reflects the scope of customer participation.

| Release type | Who can participate |
|:---|:---|
| **Private Preview** | Invite only |
| **Extended Preview** | Selected customers |
| **Public Preview** | All eligible customers |
| **General Availability** | All customers |
