^{This will be the last beta announcement posted to this subreddit for the near future. For more beta announcements, subscribe to /r/RESBetaTesting.}

WARNING: beta versions will have bugs and might delete your settings, user tags and other RES data. Please do NOT install a beta version unless you're interested in helping fix bugs! "Wanting the latest features faster" is not a good reason to install a beta version!

Backing up your data

Back up your data before installing the beta version.. Backups created after installing the beta will not work if you downgrade to an older version of RES. Upgrading to beta then downgrading to an older version will result in data loss.

Chrome

To install the RES beta version for Chrome, back up your data, then join the Google group for beta testers.

Joining the group will grant you access to install the beta from the store. An install link will be provided within the group. The beta install is a separate copy of RES, so you can easily switch back to the stable version.

After installing the beta, you must import your backup into the beta version.

Firefox

To install the RES beta version for Firefox, back up your data, then visit the "Development Channel" section of the existing Firefox listing. This will replace your existing RES install. You can revert by installing the stable version from the add-ons listing, although some RES data will be lost by downgrading.

Edge

The Microsoft Edge version has been updated to 4.7.3 and the update is now live on the store. Back up your data, completely close the browser, and install the update. If the browser is open while installing the update, you may lose RES data. The Edge team is working to fix this bug.
