| In the Evergreen distribution mode, the WebView2 Runtime is automatically kept up to date on the client to provide the latest features and security fixes. If you use Evergreen distribution, to ensure that your WebView2 app stays compatible with the web, you should set up testing infrastructure. | ||

|
||
| Microsoft Edge preview channels (Beta, Dev, and Canary) provide a sneak peek into what is coming next in the WebView2 Runtime. Test your WebView2 app regularly against a Microsoft Edge preview channel, and update your app or [report issues](https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/WebViewFeedback) if issues arise. See [Test upcoming APIs and features](../how-to/set-preview-channel.md). |
