The beta environment allows you to explore new features before they reach production. The beta environment is overwritten with data from the production environment every Saturday. Any work or content you add to your beta environment will be overwritten every week. If you want to save any course content created in your beta environment, you can export your course (Export Content in Canvas).
Please submit a help ticket if you are wanting access to the beta environment.
