Want to test the latest +1 features? Today we're introducing a new option for webmasters who want
to be the first to know about changes to the +1 button.
Enroll in the Google+ Platform Preview,
available globally, to test updates before they launch to all users on your site. When you're
logged into the account you've enrolled with and you visit a page with the +1 button, you'll see
the latest preview release.
If you join now, you'll be able to test the first set of updates we've released to Platform
Preview: hover and confirmation bubbles.
If you hover your mouse over a +1 button, you'll see a bubble letting you know what will happen
when you click:
After you click, you'll receive confirmation that the +1 has been applied:
This will give your site's users an extra reminder of the account they're using to +1, as well as
the fact that their +1 is public.
