+title: Partial Prerendering Preview in Next.js Canary
+---
+
+## Why This Error Occurred
+
+In your `next.config.js` you enabled `experimental.ppr` but you are not using the latest Next.js canary. To ensure you are experimenting with the latest version, we currently require the use of a canary release.
+
+## Possible Ways to Fix It
+
+- Install `next@canary` (e.g. `npm install next@canary`)
+
