How To Switch To The Development Channel

WARNING! The Development Channel is where ideas get tested, but can be very unstable at times. Please proceed with caution.

By default, your Chrome notebook uses the beta version of Chrome OS.

The version in the development channel houses features that are still being built. You're welcome to try it out, but be aware that things may not always work as expected.

To switch to the Development Channel click the wrench icon.

Select About Chrome OS. 

Then, click More Info in the first section on the Chrome OS page that appears.

Then, on the next page, click the channel box that says Beta and select Development.

The next time the system updates, you'll be switched to the development channel. Or you can force an update by clicking the Check For Update button at the bottom of the page. It will then download the latest development build of Chrome OS. You'll have to click restart when it says you must restart for changes to take effect.

P.S. To go back to the Beta Channel just change it back to Beta. It won't immediately change though. You won't be switched to the beta channel until the beta channel updates to a version that is newer than the version you're currently on.
