-### Next version {#next-version}
-
-The next version (v, on ) is the version the Docusaurus team is currently working on.
-
-The branch is the **default target branch** for all pull requests, including core team and external contributions.
-
-This version is recommended for **early adopters** that want to use the latest Docusaurus features as soon as possible. It is also a good way to help us by reporting bugs and giving some feedback.
-
-There are 3 ways to use the next version:
-
-- with an `alpha`, `beta` or `rc` pre-release
-- with the `@next` npm dist tag for the latest pre-release
-- with a [canary release](./4-canary.mdx) for the very latest features

-The next version passes all our automated tests and is used by the Docusaurus site itself. It is relatively safe: don't be afraid to give it a try.

-Breaking changes can happen on the next version: detailed upgrade instructions are available in the changelog and pull requests.
