The beta channel gives you early access to upcoming Passport Prime firmware before it reaches the main release. It is a great way to try new features first and help us catch issues, but beta firmware is still under active development.
To keep up with the latest available beta software, follow our GitHub releases or the community forum .
Rolling back is not possible. Once a beta version is installed, you cannot downgrade to an earlier version. Despite extensive internal testing, if you hit a bug on a beta build you will need to wait for either a newer beta version or the main release containing the fix before it can be resolved. Only join the beta channel if you are comfortable with this.

Beta firmware is delivered through Envoy. First, enable the beta channel from within the app.

With the beta channel enabled in Envoy, install the update from your Passport Prime.
