Let’s see list of SCCM pre-release features vs full features after the release of the SCCM 2002 release. Excited to see many features are fully developed now and out of the PREVIEW tag with the 2002 version of ConfigMgr.
Why Pre-Release Tag for Some SCCM Features
As per Microsoft documentation, the Pre-release features are that are currently for early “testing” in a production environment. However, you can use these features in a production environment and are fully supported.
But then why it’s still called Preview features or Pre-Released Features?
Because those features are still in active development. They might receive changes until they move out of the pre-release category.
