Changes and Improvements gradually being rolled out with toggle on*
- This update introduces platform changes as we transition to a new active development build.
[Feedback Hub]
We are excited to unveil the new Feedback Hub, which brings a refreshed and modernized experience. This update is available today for Insiders in both the Dev and Canary channels.
What’s new in Feedback Hub
- Simpler feedback submission flow: Feedback can now be submitted using a unified template, complete with a search function for categories. The form has been modernized to facilitate quicker iterations and future enhancements.
- Simpler navigation: The “My Feedback” section is now directly accessible in the navigation pane, while “Community feedback” (previously known as All feedback) enhances the ability to discover and engage with feedback from fellow users. The Announcements page has been removed to streamline the focus on feedback, with announcements still available on the Windows Insider Blog.
- New compliment feedback type: Users can now highlight what’s working well.
- Private or public feedback: Choose whether your feedback is visible to the Insider community.
- New focused feedback experience: A more compact Feedback Hub interface allows for quick, in-the-moment feedback. Users can expand to the full experience by clicking a button in the upper right corner.
- Improved screenshot capture and review tooling: This enhancement simplifies the process of capturing and including visuals when sharing feedback.
Your feedback is invaluable in shaping future developments, so we encourage you to explore the new experience and share your thoughts in the Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Apps > Feedback Hub.
Reminders for Windows Insiders in the Canary Channel
- These builds may exhibit instability and often come with limited documentation. Join Windows Insider to gain early access to Windows 11 features and updates.
- The builds released to the Canary Channel represent the latest platform changes early in the development cycle and should not be equated with any specific Windows release. Features and experiences included in these builds may never reach the public, as we experiment with various concepts and gather feedback. Features may evolve, be removed, or replaced without ever being released beyond the Insider community.
- Many features in the Canary Channel utilize Control Feature Rollout technology, starting with a select group of Insiders and gradually expanding based on feedback before a broader rollout.
- The desktop watermark displayed in the lower right corner of the desktop is a standard feature for Windows Insider pre-release builds.
- Some features may first appear in the Dev and Beta Channels before being introduced to the Canary Channel.
- Active development features previewed with Windows Insiders may not be fully localized initially; localization will occur over time as features are finalized. Please report any localization issues via the Feedback Hub.
- To exit the Canary Channel, a clean installation of Windows 11 will be necessary.

Thank you,
