Labs: Explore, Experiment, and Help Shape What’s Next

The best features we build don’t come from us alone. They come from you!

From the courses you build to the creative ways you push our tools, your ideas shape what we create next. And while we’ve always listened through surveys, interviews, and community conversations, we wanted a way to work with you even more closely.

So we started looking for a way to build more collaboratively, bringing you into the process while ideas are still evolving, not just before or after they ship.

That’s how Labs came to be.

With Labs, you can opt in to try early features and explore new ideas in the context of your real work.

Instead of relying on retrospective feedback, Labs gives us a chance to learn alongside you in real time. Most experiments include built-in ways to share feedback, so what you’re experiencing can immediately inform what we improve next. 

It also helps us connect with creators who want to be more involved in the process. If you’re exploring an experiment, there’s a good chance we’ll reach out to hear more about your experience and keep the conversation going.

Some experiments will be a success. Others will help us pivot in a new direction. Either way, they help us move faster and build better tools for you.

Not every feature will go through Labs, but when something is available, you’ll find all the details in the Labs community group. That includes what the feature  does, any current limitations, and the type of feedback we’re looking for. Following the group is the best way to stay up to date on new experiments.

Labs isn’t a replacement for the ways we’ve always worked with you. It’s an extension of that relationship and a new way to shape the future of the authoring experience together.

Explore Labs, try out what’s new, and let us know what you think.
