Manage Azure Databricks previews

This page tells you how to manage Azure Databricks previews in your account or workspace.

Azure Databricks previews overview

Previews provide early access to Databricks features before they are released for General Availability (GA). They let organizations explore new capabilities, give feedback, and prepare for upcoming changes.

Previews can be enabled at two different scopes:

  • Account-level previews apply to all workspaces in your account. Account admins manage these settings in the account console.
  • Workspace-level previews apply only to a specific workspace. Workspace admins manage these settings in the workspace admin settings page.

Previews have different availability and default states depending on their release type:

Release type Description Default state
Private Preview Invite-only, available to a small set of customers Off
Beta Available to most customers Off
Public Preview Available to all customers Varies
General Availability – approaching soon Features nearing GA, still listed in the Previews page Varies
GA Fully supported and production-ready Removed from Previews page

For information about preview releases, support, and access, see Platform releases.
