<h2><strong>Important Build Notes</strong></h2>
<h4><strong>Avatars</strong></h4>
<p>We’ve received feedback that the integration of Avatars on console has been a bit confusing due to the use of phrases like “Avatars on Home” and “Avatars on Dashboard,” so we wanted to clear up a few things. Currently, Avatars are visible to Xbox Insiders in the Alpha Skip Ahead and Alpha Rings in the following places: the <strong>Avatar Editor</strong>, <strong>activity feed, leaderboards, </strong>and the <strong>Profile</strong>.</p>
<p>We posted an Avatar Q&A here <a href="https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2018/08/08/avatars-on-the-xbox-one-dashboard-qa/">https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2018/08/08/avatars-on-the-xbox-one-dashboard-qa/</a></p>
