| **Show Pre-release Package Versions** | Displays [pre-release packages](/engine/6000.7/manual/packages-list/packages-all/pack-preview.md) in the Package Manager window. Pre-release packages appear with the  tag in the [list panel](/engine/6000.7/manual/packages-list/upm-ui-window/upm-ui-list-panel/upm-ui-list.md) and the  tag in the [details panel](/engine/6000.7/manual/packages-list/upm-ui-window/upm-ui-details.md). These tags serve as a reminder of which packages will release with the next long-term support (LTS) version of the Unity Editor.**Warning**: By default, this setting is disabled because pre-release packages are still being verified as stable enough for production, but aren't fully released yet. For more information about the lifecycle of packages, refer to [Package states and lifecycle](/engine/6000.7/manual/packages-list/packages/upm-lifecycle.md). |

### Scoped Registries

The **Scoped Registries** group displays a list of scoped registries added to the current project on the left of the settings group, and the details of the selected registry on the right.

For detailed information about scoped registries, including how to use and configure them with the Unity Package Manager, refer to [Scoped Registries](/engine/6000.7/manual/packages-list/upm-scoped.md).
