While most of the Dependabot Preview features exist in {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}-native {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %}, a few remain unavailable:
- **Live updates:** We hope to bring these back in the future. For now, you can run {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} daily to catch new packages within one day of release.
- **PHP environment variable registries:** For projects that rely on the `ACF_PRO_KEY` environment variable, you may be able to vendor your licensed copy of the Advanced Custom Fields plugin. For an example, see [dependabot/acf-php-example](https://github.com/dependabot/acf-php-example#readme). For other environment variables, you can use {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} to fetch dependencies from these registries.
- **Auto-merge:** We always recommend verifying your dependencies before merging them; therefore, auto-merge will not be supported for the foreseeable future. For those of you who have vetted your dependencies, or are only using internal dependencies, we recommend adding third-party auto-merge apps, or setting up GitHub Actions to merge.

For those of you who have vetted your dependencies, or are only using internal dependencies, we recommend adding third-party auto-merge apps, or setting up GitHub Actions to merge. We have provided the [`dependabot/fetch-metadata`](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/fetch-metadata-from-dependabot-prs) action to help developers [enable GitHub's automerge](https://github.com/dependabot/fetch-metadata/#enabling-auto-merge).
In {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}-native {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %}, you can configure all version updates using the configuration file. This file is similar to the Dependabot Preview configuration file with a few changes and improvements that will be automatically included in your upgrade pull request.
