EDGAR Beta Environment

An EDGAR Beta environment is available for filers, filing agents, and other members of the public to test and provide feedback on EDGAR system code.

EDGAR Beta Will Remain Open

The EDGAR Beta environment offered to filers as part of the EDGAR Next implementation will remain open indefinitely (and will not close on December 19, 2025 as previously contemplated) to provide the EDGAR filing community the ability to preview and test all upcoming EDGAR changes.

• EDGAR quarterly major releases will be deployed in EDGAR Beta approximately two (2) weeks prior to their scheduled deployment in live EDGAR.
• Other EDGAR releases, including certain bug fixes, may be deployed in EDGAR Beta less than two (2) weeks before deployment in live EDGAR, due to the more urgent nature of those releases.
• Substantial updates to the SEC’s API ecosystem will be previewed in EDGAR Beta, including but not limited to, changes to API technical specifications, the EDGAR API Development Toolkit, and API usage requirements or policies.

The EDGAR Beta Release notes will inform filers of the timing and content of deployments to EDGAR Beta. We encourage filers to monitor the EDGAR Beta environment and EDGAR Beta Release notes frequently.
