Open the Settings dialog (File > Settings on Windows/Linux, or Android Studio > Preferences on Mac). So if you want to test the new features right when they are released, you must not be on a stable channel. For example, if you are in a stable preview channel you will only get the stable releases, but if you are in a canary channel you will get all the updates including the buggy ones. Preview channels are used to send users the appropriate build of the Android Studio. What do I mean by stable channel? Android Studio has a built-in preview update mechanism. You have probably realized that you don’t receive all the updates, if you are using the stable channel.

Have you ever wondered what is the difference between canary, beta, RC and stable releases in the Android Studio? Well, I have and I did some research.
