	When first logging into a viewer on the Preview Grid, it is usual to have only your inventory items copied from the main grid for items up to that date, but the Preview Grid or test grid snapshot/database may have been copied weeks or months ago. Before reporting a bug, try changing to another skin and set of clothes so that your avatar is correctly updated. You may also find that your attachments being worn are those from the date of the database copy-- and not the day you logged in.

			Changes to mesh bodies made in Agni will transfer to Aditi. Without changing your outfit in Aditi you may see the body change in Aditi. This depends on how you use your mesh body in Agni and when the inventory sync occurs.

Sometimes regions will crash and may not come back up, due to the beta nature of the test grid, the region may not be repaired until the next working day or longer.

			In other cases, we may disable a region to free up host machines to test other regions with other features or problems.

			We try and maintain a core area of the Preview Grid, but any region is subject to change. This also goes for the availability of the Preview Grid itself. We may need to take the entire Test Grid down for testing or upgrades. These take-downs are usually done on short notice. It is the nature of beta testing.

			The best information on these changes can be obtained in ''Server Beta User Group Meetings''.

			'''Yes'''. To know when help testing is needed, participate in the Server Beta User Group. See the list of [https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:User_Groups User Groups] for time and place.

	~~Yes we will try and put out some tests either before or just after the Preview Grid opens to the public.~~ Apart from ~~doing~~ those tests ~~its~~ generally a good idea just to explore the new features ~~for~~ the ~~new Project/Feature~~ in ~~beta and see if you find any other mistakes and bugs~~. ~~This also goes for other areas of~~ the ~~Preview Grid viewer where bug fixes have taken place~~.		Apart from those tests, it's generally a good idea just to explore the new features and fixes announced by various Lindens. Most projects will have a server side change. That modified server version will appear on the Test Grid at some point.

			When help is needed testing, you may see the request in the Server Deploys thread in the forum. You may hear about it in the various user groups. Also, some third-party SL blogs cover on going development.

	Yes ~~the~~ Preview grid is designed for testing and isn't connected to the main LIVE grid ,so no Linden Dollars you spend ~~here~~ will ~~reflect on~~ your balance on the main grid. ~~It also means~~ you ~~cant~~ transfer the L$ ~~back~~ to your ~~main grid~~ account or any objects you create/buy in the Preview Grid. ~~It also means~~ 3rd party websites cannot be used ~~as well~~ as network vendors.		'''Yes'''. The Preview grid is designed for testing and isn't connected to the main LIVE grid, so no Linden Dollars you spend while logged into Aditi will affect your balance on the main grid.

			Nor can you transfer the Aditi L$ to your Main Grid account nor any objects you create or buy in the Preview Grid.

			Also, 3rd party websites cannot be used as network vendors from Aditi.
