Hupspot public beta setup guide

How to Opt Your Hubspot Account Into Public Beta Features

Using Hubspot effectively means staying ahead of new tools and improvements. One way to do this is by enabling public beta features in your Hubspot account so your team can safely test upcoming functionality before it becomes generally available.

This guide walks you through what public betas are, how they work, and the exact steps to opt your account in or out whenever you need.

What Are Hubspot Public Beta Features?

Public betas in Hubspot are early versions of product features that are available for any eligible account to try. They are fully supported, but still in active development, so you may notice minor changes as Hubspot refines the experience.

When you join a public beta, you help the product team:

  • Validate new functionality in real environments
  • Gather feedback from real marketing, sales, and service teams
  • Identify usability issues before wide release
  • Adjust performance and reliability based on real usage

Public betas are distinct from private betas, which are limited to invited accounts. Public betas can be enabled directly from your settings without a special invitation.

Key Details About Hubspot Beta Access

Before you change any settings, it is important to understand how beta access behaves across your Hubspot account and users.

Feature Availability Within Your Hubspot Account

Public betas in Hubspot are usually made available at the account level. When you opt an account into a public beta, the feature typically becomes accessible to all users who already have permission to use that type of tool.

In practice, this may mean:

  • New CRM interface changes visible for all CRM users
  • New marketing tools available to users with existing marketing access
  • New reports or dashboards becoming visible to reporting users

Permissions still control who can see or edit tools; the beta only controls whether the new feature exists in your environment.

Eligibility for Hubspot Public Betas

Not every Hubspot account will see the same public betas. Availability can depend on:

  • Your subscription tier or product line
  • Your account's region or data center
  • Previous participation in related pilots

If you do not see a specific beta listed, it may not be open to your account yet. You can check the official Hubspot knowledge base page about public beta features at this external resource for the most accurate, current information.

How to Opt Your Hubspot Account Into a Public Beta

To enable a public beta feature, you must be a Hubspot Super Admin or have sufficient account-level permissions to access product updates and settings.

Step-by-Step: Enabling a Hubspot Public Beta

  1. Log in to your account.
    Sign in to the Hubspot portal where you want to enable beta features.

  2. Open your settings.
    In the main navigation bar, click the settings icon to open the settings area for your Hubspot account.

  3. Go to the Product Updates or Beta section.
    In the left sidebar, look for a section related to Product updates, Betas, or Early access. The exact wording can change as Hubspot evolves the interface, but this is where public beta features are listed.

  4. Review available public betas.
    You should see a list of available public beta programs, each with a brief description of what the feature does. Read the details carefully, including any notes on limitations, supported tools, or recommended use cases.

  5. Toggle the beta on.
    For each Hubspot public beta you want to join, use the provided toggle, checkbox, or "Join beta" option. Confirm your choice if Hubspot prompts you with a confirmation message.

  6. Inform your team.
    Once a beta is turned on, let your users know which Hubspot tools are changing, what to test, and where to share feedback internally.

How to Opt Out of a Hubspot Public Beta

You can leave a public beta at any time if you decide the feature does not yet fit your workflows or if you encounter issues.

Step-by-Step: Disabling a Hubspot Public Beta

  1. Access settings again.
    In Hubspot, click the settings icon from the main navigation bar.

  2. Return to Product updates or Betas.
    Navigate to the same beta or product updates section where you originally enabled the feature.

  3. Locate the active public beta.
    Find the specific Hubspot public beta you previously joined. Active betas will typically show as enabled or joined.

  4. Turn the beta off.
    Toggle the setting off, uncheck the box, or click the option to leave the beta. Confirm the change if Hubspot asks for confirmation.

  5. Verify the change.
    Return to the relevant tool or area in Hubspot and confirm that the beta interface or functionality is no longer active.

Best Practices for Testing Hubspot Public Betas

To get the most value from early access features without disrupting critical operations, consider the following best practices for your Hubspot environment.

Plan Your Hubspot Beta Participation

  • Identify a small group of power users or admins to test new features first.
  • Choose public betas that align with clear business goals, such as reporting improvements or new automation options.
  • Schedule testing outside of high-traffic campaign periods when possible.

Document Feedback and Issues

When you trial a Hubspot public beta, capture feedback in a structured way:

  • Keep a shared document outlining what changed and how it behaves.
  • Note bugs or inconsistencies with steps to reproduce.
  • Record performance or usability concerns from different roles (marketing, sales, service).

This will make it easier to decide whether to stay in the beta, opt out temporarily, or roll it out more broadly.

Coordinate With Your Hubspot Strategy

Public betas should fit into your longer-term technology and operations roadmap. You may also want external guidance on how betas impact your automation, CRM design, and analytics strategies. For more strategic help on optimizing digital platforms, you can review consulting options at Consultevo.
