# Introduction

## What is Preview?

Preview is a Continuous Product Review product which creates and manages ephemeral environments. While typically used for Pull Request review or automated end-to-end testing, environments can also be used for sales demos, manual QA testing, conducting user testing, or demonstrating upcoming product changes to existing customers. 

{% hint style="warning" %}
Preview is currently in a closed alpha. There will be bugs, and there are existing short-comings which are being addressed.
{% endhint %}

Preview is designed to avoid making any requirements of your Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), outside of the Continuous Product Review segment.
