Microsoft release packages public preview versus general availability

Hi, 

Do any of you know what's the difference between public preview and general availability?

I guess general availability means that the feature is available in the last relesed version for D365FO. Could you confirm this? 

Then, what does public preview means?

    Hi CapsLock,

    A preview means that you can enable a feature in non-production environments for evaluation and providing feedback to Microsoft. At that time, you can't use it in production environments. With General availability, the feature will be officially supported and can be enabled and used in production environments.
