Step 3: take our testers off internal testing
A tester enrolled in your app's internal testing doesn't get the closed test. Remove our group, and any list with our testers, from “Internal testing › Testers”.

What this step is for
Google says a user who opts into your app's internal test is no longer eligible for your open or closed test until they leave the internal one. If our testers are on your internal track, they never get the closed test, and they don't count.
How to do it
- Open “Test and release › Testing › Internal testing › Testers”.
- Remove our group, the backup group if you added it, and any list that holds our testers.
- Your own addresses can stay.
- Save, then click “Done” on this step in Peerbeta.
Common mistakes
- Adding our group to internal testing to go faster. Internal tests are usually quicker to publish, but they don't count for production access.
- Sending testers the internal testing link. Its address contains
/apps/internaltest/, and Peerbeta refuses it. - Thinking a tester who joined the internal test can simply switch. They have to leave the internal test first, then opt in to the closed test, and their 14 days start from that opt-in.

Étape 3 : retirer nos testeurs du test interneUn testeur inscrit au test interne de votre app ne reçoit pas le test fermé. Retirez notre groupe, et toute liste qui contient nos testeurs, de « Test interne › Testeurs ».Step 1: create the closed testing trackThe test runs on a closed testing track of your app in the Play Console. Open “Test and release › Testing › Closed testing” and keep one track for the whole test.“This is the internal testing link”: the wrong link was pastedThe pasted link belongs to your internal test, not to the closed test. Copy the closed testing track's opt-in link instead, and keep our testers out of internal testing.Step 6: publish the closed testing trackThe opt-in link only exists once the track is published. Upload your AAB, roll the release out to the track, send it for review and wait for “Published”.
