### Configuring beta testing style

Choose which type of beta testing style your team will use for all releases of this app:

* **Non-blocking** - No soak period. The Beta testing step will automatically be shown as complete (green).
* **Open-ended soak** - An open-ended beta testing soak period. The Beta testing step will be marked as complete once the soak period is manually ended.
* **Time-limited soak** - Set a soak duration, in hours. The Beta testing step will be marked as complete once the soak duration has finished. (You can still manually end the soak period early.)
