Early Access in preference settings
This wasn't mentioned in the release notes, so I thought I would bring it to people's attention starting in R53.16.

That sounds like a good idea, but only if the new features don't damage you data file, there is a feedback mechanism and if Quicken acts on the feedback they receive.

I will admit right away that if it was say a month ago, I might have tried it. But since that time, I was just trying some things I thought were harmless to see if I could help someone on here and ended up having to fix the Cloud dataset and all my online connections about four times now. So, I'm not in the mood to go off experimenting.

The "early access" concept came to Quicken Mac a few years ago. Dark mode was one of the original early access features users could enable. So far, the Mac early access features have all been UI changes, nothing which could damage one's database.

The same seems to be true for the above features they currently have to select.

What is the mechanism for providing feedback on the Mac early access features? Have they made any changes based on the feedback they received?
For example in Q Win Premier, Real time Quotes can be turned on and off. There are easily reproducible problems with that feature, but nothing has been done to fix them.

Feedback is the regular mechanisms: Report a Problem or Send Quicken Feedback in the program, Idea posts on the forum, and (sometimes) posting comments in the announcement of a new release. In short, no special or effective way to submit feedback. That said, I don't they are treating this like beta testing, where they are seeking feedback. Early Access for Quicken Mac has been used for new features which are not yet fully developed/completed.

After what @jacobs said, I decided that he is right, and it is worth it turn it them on (you can turn them back off if you like).
I think both of these are very nice improvements.
And because I wanted to capture the old vs new, I can add to the above question. First old Reports and Graphs:
New (clicked on a couple so you can see them expanded. You can also right click and delete/rename/move):
And if I switch back (from inside of the window, not from the preferences):
Report Custom dialog:
Old:
New:

The new Reports & Graphs Center dialog displays double arrows at its edges suggesting it can be resized but it can not be.

I switched back and reported that the new window can't be resized. Note that the old window could be resized.
