#### Experimental mode
By default, Docker for Mac Beta releases use the experimental version of Docker
Engine, described in the
[Docker Experimental Features README](https://github.com/docker/docker/tree/master/experimental)
on GitHub. Starting with Beta 31, you can toggle **experimental mode** on and
off. If you toggle it off, Docker for Mac Beta uses the current generally
available release of Docker Engine, the same as Stable Docker for Mac versions
uses.
Starting with Stable 1.13.0 and Beta 31, both Docker for Mac Stable and Beta
releases have experimental features enabled on Docker Engine, as described in
the [Docker Experimental Features
README](https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/experimental/README.md) on GitHub.
Experimental features are not appropriate for production environments or
workloads. They are meant to be sandbox experiments for new ideas. Some
experimental features may become incorporated into upcoming stable releases, but
others may be modified or pulled from subsquent Betas, and never released
on Stable.
On both Beta and Stable releases, you can toggle **experimental mode** on and
off. If you toggle it off, Docker for Mac uses the current generally available
release of Docker Engine.
You can check whether you are running experimental mode or not by typing `docker
version` on the command line. Experimental mode is listed under `Server` data.

#### Experimental mode
By default, Docker for Windows Beta releases use the experimental version of
Docker Engine, described in the [Docker Experimental Features
README](https://github.com/docker/docker/tree/master/experimental) on GitHub.
Starting with Beta 34 and Stable 1.13.0, you can toggle **experimental mode** on and off via the
**Basic** Daemon settings. If you toggle it off, Docker for Windows Beta uses the
current generally available release of Docker Engine, the same as Stable Docker
for Windows versions uses by default.
