Enable preview features for Azure Machine Learning
In Azure Machine Learning, new features and improvements are often first released as preview features before they're made generally available (GA). As new features are introduced, you can turn them on or off in the Azure Machine Learning studio at your convenience. That way, you get a chance to use the latest features, evaluate how they fit your work needs and provide feedback to shape the product. Your feedback is very valuable and it helps us constantly improve the product.
Some preview features provide access to entire new functionality while others may reflect a change to the user interface, but little or no change in functionality.
You can remove the ability to see any previews on a workspace or for all workspaces in a subscription. For more information, see Manage Azure Machine Learning workspaces in the portal or with the Python SDK (v2). If the preview feature has been removed for your workspace, you will not see the panel described in the rest of this article.
Note
The amount of time a feature remains in preview can vary based on user feedback, quality checks, and long-term road maps.
Important
The preview features are provided without a service-level agreement, and are not recommended for production workloads. Certain features might not be supported or might have constrained capabilities. For more information, see Supplemental Terms of Use for Microsoft Azure Previews.
Prerequisites
- An Azure Machine Learning workspace. For more information, see Create resources to get started.
