Please note! Schoolyear Beta is not the same as the normally used Schoolyear environment. You need special access for this.
This article explains exactly what Schoolyear Beta entails and how you can request access to it.
What is Schoolyear Beta?
The Schoolyear Beta is a test environment in which new features and updates are available earlier than in the normal (‘production’) version. Schoolyear Beta is the integration used for Ans Stage.
A new version is released in the beta environment every month (e.g. on the 15th of the month) and rolled out to production (the standard live version) on the 1st of the following month. Before administering tests with managed computers, it is useful to use the beta to test that everything is working properly before the live rollout.
