Is there really no way to see if Elements looks like a path to go from Classic without purchasing it! That seems really hard on long time Classic users….

We’ve decided to limit Elements to paying users to start with. This allows us to focus on providing the best experience and support for those actively using (and investing) in the future of Elements.

This approach ensures that our paying customers get taken care of first, with frequent updates and improvements based on real-world use.

Having said all that, we do plan to offer a “demo” version of Elements for users to try first — We just need to get a few more things into the product before we open it up to the world. Hopefully won’t be too much longer.

You can [learn more about the Elements Early Access program here](https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/elements-docs/early-access).

Hope that helps!

Is there a general video available to show elements as is, not the update videos that appear regularly, I just would like to see an overview of what it is/aims to be?
