How can you tell which build you are being offered? I only get `Beta 12.0` but I see that the RC is `12.0.1`?
Got a tip for us?

Afterwards it will tell you the build number, not with a update being offered.

It's likely that 12.0 was frozen, for the advance work of pre-loading the new machines. This won't be the first time that a general macOS/iOS release already has a patch.
This is what you should see in Software Update.
Exactly this. Likely that when the new MacBooks arrive, people will get the 12.0.1 update as part of setting up.It's likely that 12.0 was frozen, for the advance work of pre-loading the new machines. This won't be the first time that a general macOS/iOS release already has a patch.
I was on Monterey Beta 10. Then I check settings -> software update and it shows this, with the Update now beta.
Are these the right version? I hope I don't end up downloading Beta 10.
I'm on Big Sur 10.6 btw.

You just added the profile to enable you to update? No idea if the full installer is the EC, but it’ll be beta 10 if not, then you can OTA to RC once done.
They completely reverted the Safari UI changes, for the most part. I really want to thank whoever at Apple listened to our loud complaining about the ugly redesign and decided to ditch it.
THANK YOU, whoever you are.

OK. Makes sense. I was just trying to avoid any Beta update related issues that may arise later. Its safer to upgrade between final builds.
I was looking at that on Safari 15.1 for Catalina, iPadOS 15.1RC and MacOS 12.01, all the same, back to normal design. Yes we got our way.
Yea , been stable since early betas for me.
I’ve still got my lovely compact bar on Safari! ? I heard separate has gone backwards, which is a shame. Apple shouldn’t listen to the vocal minority that seem to hate change.
I don't hate change, I just hate pointless change. The new paradigm was confusing and inconsistent with the rest of the system.
I imagine they're just going to rethink things and spend some time getting it right for MacOS 12. I welcome change it if it improves the experience, and this absolutely didn't.
I'm in the public beta, running 11.6. Software Update show 12.0 (macOS Monterey Beta). I'm assuming this is not 12.0.1, but rather Beta 10?
Should I download/install this, or should I wait for 12.0.1 to show up? Or would I need to go to Beta 10, then RC?

Not true, there are ways to know before, I for instance, download the full installer, it is possible to get into the downloaded files and find the build number.
(Amongst other ways)
Please, anyone, open two or three tabs in Safari > take screenshot > post screenshot here. I want to see if GM/RC fixed the tabs like Gruber's website screenshot says they have. I don't want to get my hopes up.
It wasn't pointless change, it was evolution of the current design. If my 65 year old technophobe of a mother wasn't confused by it, then I worry for someone younger than her that's a keen user of this forum lol ? Personally, I have to have it on compact tabs, I can't go back, as it's so much better, less wasted space.
It's possible that the full installer might be Beta 10, I dunno. Apple will likely market it as 12.0 until you install it and you'll see 12.0.1. Even if it's Beta 10, can just OTA it to the RC.
Yea, was confirmed early in this thread 90 minutes ago, by ph001bi:
