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.
