Plans and permissions:
- Turn early access features on or off, request access, or send feedback: Admin role, or a custom role with Early access set to Can manage early-access features
Use the Early access page to try new Assembled features before they’re generally available, and to tell the team building them what’s working. You can turn on Beta features yourself, and request access to Alpha features.
To open it, go to Configure > Early access.
Navigating the Early access page
Features are grouped by where they are for your company.
| Group | What’s in it |
|---|---|
| Enabled | Features that are turned on for your company. |
| Available to try | Features you can turn on (Beta) or request access to (Alpha). |
| Not currently available | Features your company can’t use right now. This group appears only when it applies. |
Select a feature, or its arrow, to expand it and see What changes, Limitations, Available to, and Data use.
How early access works
- Early access features are still in development. We release them early so you can try them and tell us what’s working, and your feedback directly shapes what we build.
- Because they’re still changing, you may run into issues, and how a feature works may change. Some features may be significantly reworked or removed before they’re generally available.
- Early access is set for your whole company, not for individual people or teams. Before you turn on a feature, check Available to, which lists the roles or teams it’s designed for.
- Each feature’s Data use section explains what data it uses. Early access features follow the same security and privacy practices as the rest of Assembled.
- When a feature becomes generally available, it’s removed from the Early access page and becomes a standard part of Assembled.
Alpha and Beta
Each feature is labeled with a stage, so you know what to expect. Help center articles about early access features show the same label at the top.
| Stage | What it means | How you get it |
|---|---|---|
| Alpha | Early and still changing. It may have meaningful limitations, and some setup may need our team’s help. | Select Request access. Our team reviews the request and turns the feature on for your company, typically within 1–2 weeks. Once it’s on, you turn it off yourself or request to turn it off, depending on the feature. |
| Beta | Ready for broader testing, with a few things still being refined. | Turn it on yourself with the toggle. You can turn it off again at any time. |
Turn on a feature
Turning on a feature turns it on for everyone at your company. You turn on Beta features yourself, and request access to Alpha features.
- Go to Configure > Early access.
- Find the feature under Available to try, and expand it to review What changes and Limitations.
- For a Beta feature, turn on its toggle. For an Alpha feature, select Request access.
A feature you turn on moves to Enabled. It can take a few minutes for the change to appear across Assembled.
After you request access, the button changes to Requested while our team reviews the request, typically within 1–2 weeks. You get an email when it’s approved or declined. Once it’s approved, the feature moves to Enabled and shows Access granted. If a request isn’t approved, you can submit it again.
Turn off a feature
Turning off a feature turns it off for everyone at your company. Depending on the feature, you turn it off yourself or ask our team to turn it off.
Important: If the feature shows Turn off, everyone at your company loses access as soon as you confirm, and you need to request access again to use it.
- Go to Configure > Early access.
- Find the feature under Enabled.
- Use the control the feature shows. See the table below.
| Control | What happens |
|---|---|
| Toggle | Turn it off. Assembled keeps your existing configuration where possible, so turning it back on is quick. |
| Turn off | Select it, then select Turn off again to confirm. Everyone at your company loses access right away. |
| Request to turn off | Select it to ask our team to turn the feature off. The button changes to Turn-off requested, and the feature stays on while we review the request. You get an email when it’s approved or declined. Once it’s approved, the feature moves back to Available to try. |
Send feedback
Expand a feature and select Send feedback. Your feedback goes directly to the team building the feature. We read every submission, and we may contact your team to learn more or to ask whether you’d like to share more.
To report a problem with a feature or get help with it, select Help in Assembled.
Common issues
- Early access isn’t in the Configure menu: Your role can’t manage early access features. Ask an admin at your company to check your role. If you’re an admin and still don’t see it, the Early access page may not be available for your company yet: select Help in Assembled to ask when it will be.
