As you know, the new Google Search Console beta is rolling out to more people and yesterday, Google sent a wave of invites to webmasters to join the new beta. The invites read "Introducing the new Search Console (beta)."

Here is a screen shot of the email:

Google has also been busy adding more and more features to the beta, and you can track all my coverage of this tool over here.

More recently, Google added:

(1) The ability to export your data from the Index Coverage report.

(2) The ability to mark items as fixed and request Google to validate that fix immediately, which you were able to do in the AMP reports but now is more widely available in the new beta

(3) Index Coverage report added a view to filter just "New Issues Found" which is very helpful as well:

Google is going to be very fast at adding more and more features to the Google Search Console over the next weeks and months.
