Manage Databricks previews

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

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:
