How to use auto update and beta tester ?

I see there is an option for auto update and beta tester but how to config them ? (That's not an issue but idk where to post it)

Release it as a pre-release and make sure the version is a semver prerelease. See this as an example: https://github.com/dscalzi/HeliosLauncher/releases/tag/v1.0.0-beta.4

Version is v1.0.0-beta.4. You can also do v1.0.0-alpha.4. Typically what I do is the next version, then a prerelease, then the number of it. So if the next release is v1.18.0, I would do v1.18.0-beta.1, v1.18.0-beta.2, and so on until the stable release of v1.18.0.

The option in the settings lets a user pick if they want prereleases or if they only want the full stable releases.

Okay, but we need to config something in the launcher ? For download pre-release.
