== Getting the Source SDK Beta ==
 
[[Image:Beta sdk shortcut.jpg|right|frame|caption|Modifying a Steam shortcut to launch SDK Beta]]
 
To run this beta version you will need to add <code>-beta sdk</code> to your command line when you start Steam. This can be done by opening up the Windows shortcut you use to launch Steam and adding <code>-beta sdk</code> right after <code>Steam.exe</code>. Please report any bugs or issue you find [[SDK_Beta_Bugs|in this article]].
 
'''Important:''' You should also disable Steam from running automatically when Windows starts, to prevent it from running the non-beta SDK. To disable Steam from running automatically:
# Open the Steam window.
# Choose '''Settings''' from the '''File''' menu.
# Click on the '''Interface''' tab.
# Uncheck the '''Run Steam when Windows starts''' option.
 
'''Note''': Be sure to run the game you wish to edit ''before'' running the SDK, to make sure you have the latest updates.

== Switching back to the non-Beta SDK ==
 
You can revert back to the "non-Beta" standard SDK release by following these steps:
# Close the Source SDK panel and exit Steam if it's currently running.
# Open the Windows shortcut you use to launch Steam and remove <code>-beta sdk</code>.
# Launch Steam from the shortcut.
# Re-enable '''Run Steam when Windows starts''' option if desired.
# Choose Source SDK from the Steam window.
# Choose '''Refresh SDK Content''' from the Source SDK panel.
# Wait for the Source SDK panel to finish refreshing the SDK content with the standard SDK files.
