Read Me: Getting Started with Sonar Early Access

[Jesse Jost]

Welcome to the Sonar Early Access Program!

This program is your chance to test drive the latest features before they go live to the general public. Your participation provides us with critical real-world test coverage and helps ensure our official releases are rock solid.

Is Early Access right for me?
Early Access builds are released after beta testing is complete, but before the final seal of approval.

• You get new features roughly a week before everyone else.
• Note: Active testing is still underway. If you are working on a project with a strict production deadline, we recommend sticking to the stable release to avoid any potential workflow interruptions.

How to Install
All Early Access builds are delivered via the Cakewalk Product Center.

1. Open Cakewalk Product Center.
2. Flip the Early Access switch to On.
3. Look for the Sonar (Early Access) entry in the list and click Download/Install.

How to Roll Back
Need to return to the stable version? No problem - simply use the Rollbacks toggle within the Cakewalk Product Center to download and reinstall the current stable release.

How to Provide Feedback
We love feedback! If you find a bug or have a suggestion:

1. Navigate to the specific forum topic for the version you are using.
2. Reply directly to that topic with your feedback.

Please Note: Do not submit tickets to standard Customer Support for Early Access builds. Please keep all discussion within this forum so the development team can see it immediately.

Happy testing!
