The Release Preview account enables you to become familiar with the new features in an upcoming release. You can verify that your existing business workflows function as expected before your production account is upgraded to the new NetSuite release. You can also use the Release Preview account to test and ensure your NetSuite account and any associated applications are not dependent on a specific data center to store data. You can evaluate your applications for any data center-specific identifiers, and replace them with data center agnostic information.


The goal is to provide a smooth and seamless transition to a new release. By making this information available, and providing other needed guidance, you will avoid any major problems or surprises when you go live with the new version.
