The SEC has announced that the EDGAR Beta environment provided for filers as part of the EDGAR Next launch will remain open for the foreseeable future. The beta environment originally was set to close on December 19, 2025, but will remain open to allow the EDGAR filing community to preview and test all upcoming EDGAR updates.
While the EDGAR Beta environment remains open:
- 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 SEC will provide EDGAR Beta Release notes to keep filers apprised of the timing and content of deployments to EDGAR Beta. Staff encourages filers frequently to monitor the EDGAR Beta environment and EDGAR Beta Release notes.
Interested parties may submit inquiries or remarks regarding EDGAR Beta via email to FilerTechUnit@sec.gov.
