# Future Feature Testing

Better Building has many new features on the way! We're taking a fresh approach to rolling these out, and we'd love your input along the journey.

If you'd like to join our future feature testing group, simply drop your email address in the form below and we'll be in touch with further details. Sign-up [here](https://preview.mailerlite.io/forms/489849/168741847574774886/share) to get on the list.

## Try Before We Launch: Feature Sandboxes

Over the next couple of months, we'll be releasing sandboxes where you can preview upcoming features. This gives you a chance to explore what's coming, see how it works, and share your valuable feedback with us.

## How It Works

**Starting:** Wednesday, November 12th\
**Continuing:** Each Wednesday thereafter with new features

We're hoping you can spend about 30 minutes with each new feature sandbox. Your hands-on experience will help us understand what's working well and what could be better.
