Help Wanted (Now!)

We need your help stabilizing Storybook 5.2 for the final release. It's in beta now because we think it's ready to use in most projects.

The biggest thing is to try upgrading your project to the latest prerelease, see if you run into problems, and file github isues. The sooner we uncover problems with the upgrade, the more time we have to fix and document them.

To upgrade your project:

npx npm-check-updates '/storybook/' -un
npm install # or yarn

We've also started to document migration instructions, and will continue to update the documentation throughout the release.

And of course, if you see any issues that you can help with, PRs are always welcome. Storybook wouldn't be possible without high-quality contributions from our wonderful community.

Thanks for your help and stay posted for more updates!
