+# Release candidate
+Release candidate is a version that will soon be released as a new major version. For example, before 1.7.0 is released, there is 1.7.0-RC version, which is a release candidate - it has all new features and is available for testing.
+
+### How to switch existing installation to release candidate
+Run those commands in webui directory:
+
+```
+git switch release_candidate
+git pull
+```
+
+### How to switch back to stable version in master branch:
+Run those commands in webui directory:
+```
+git switch master
+```
+
+### How to get release candidate in a new webui installation
+
+Run those commands (this will create a directory called `webuirc` - you can use a different name, and you can also rename the directory afterwards):
+
+```
+git clone https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui.git webuirc
+cd webuirc
+git switch release_candidate
+```
