Cursor offers an early access program that gives you early access to new and experimental features. While these features can be exciting, they may be less stable than our standard features.

Beta features are experimental and may contain bugs or unexpected behavior. We recommend staying on standard settings if you need a stable development environment.

​

2

Navigate to the Beta menu

Find and select the Beta menu in settings sidebar.

3

Choose the 'Early Access' option

Find the ‘Update frequency’ dropdown and select ‘Early Access’ to opt in.

4

Await the next update

Wait for the next early access update to be available, and you will recieve it automatically.

​
Leaving the Early Access Program

If you decide you no longer want to be part of the early access program, you can opt out by toggling the ‘Update frequency’ dropdown to ‘Standard’ in the settings menu.

Then, either wait for the next update to take effect, or redownload Cursor’s latest stable release from cursor.com.
