About Technology Preview Features

Some features delivered with this edition of OpenPlant PID are specifically identified as "Technology Preview" features.

Technology Preview features are:

currently unsupported
may not be functionally complete
not suitable for use/deployment in production

However, these features are provided to you as a courtesy and the primary goal is for the feature to gain wider exposure with the goal of full support in the future.

You may find these features useful in a non-production environment.
