  "textContent": "**[What and Why:]**\n\nEnterprise Preview in Microsoft Edge introduces a streamlined way for admins to validate prerelease Edge builds directly within the Stable application. This reduces deployment friction and enables faster feedback loops while maintaining user productivity. Admins gain centralized controls and visibility in the Microsoft 365 admin center, allowing them to manage preview participation, monitor their flighting population, and receive recommendations.\n\nThis message is associated with Roadmap ID 557185.\n\n**[Rollout Schedule:]**\n\n  * Public Preview (Worldwide): We began rolling out in **early February 2026** and expect to complete by **mid-June 2026**.\n  * General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in **mid-June 2026** and expect to complete by **mid-June 2026**.\n\n\n\n**[Impact on Your Organization:]**\n\n**Who is affected:** Admins managing Microsoft Edge Update policies and users on devices with Microsoft Edge configured for Beta or Dev channels.\n\n**Platforms/Services:**\n\n  * Microsoft Edge (Stable application)\n  * Microsoft 365 admin center\n  * Edge Management Service\n\n\n\n**What will happen:**\n\n  * Users can receive prerelease Edge builds directly within the Stable application.\n  * By default, users can opt out of the preview experience when allowed by policy.\n  * Built-in rollback enables users to switch between prerelease and Stable versions without reinstalling Edge.\n  * Admins can configure preview settings, monitor flighting populations, and view recommendations in one place.\n  * The new `EdgePreviewEnrollmentType `policy introduces user opt-out control:\n    * **Allow opt-out:** Users can switch between prerelease and Stable channels.\n    * **Required:** Users remain on the configured prerelease channel (similar to previous `TargetChannel` behavior).\n  * If your organization currently uses TargetChannel (Beta or Dev), this change enhances flexibility by introducing user-level control.\n\n\n\n**[Action Required / Recommendations:]**\n\nNo action is required before rollout.\n\nHowever, we recommend that admins:\n\n  * Review your current Edge update policies (Beta or Dev channels).\n  * Decide if users should be allowed to opt out:\n    * Set `EdgePreviewEnrollmentType`**** to `Allow opt-out `(default behavior)\n    * Or set `EdgePreviewEnrollmentType `to `Required `to enforce prerelease participation\n  * Monitor your preview population in the Microsoft 365 admin center or Edge Management Service.\n  * Communicate the change to IT support teams, especially regarding user opt-out and rollback capabilities.\n\n\n\n**Learn more**\n\n  * Get started with Enterprise Preview in Microsoft Edge | Microsoft Learn\n  * EdgePreviewEnrollmentType | Microsoft Learn\n\n\n\n**[Compliance Considerations:]**\n\n**Compliance area**| **Explanation**\n---|---\nAdmin control available| Admins can control preview enrollment using EdgePreviewEnrollmentType policy.\nUser ability to enable/disable| Users can opt out of prerelease builds when policy is set to Allow opt-out.",
