Unable to update to the beta from the production version

I'm sorry for the continued inconvenience, the issue is still open in our developer's backlog. For the time being, installing the beta version manually continues to be the best workaround if you'd like to switch from the production to the beta version of 1Password. 

I did download the beta last time as you suggested, but it then went and updated to the next Production when it came along.

Sometimes a production release has a higher version number than the current beta. In those cases, 1Password temporarily updates to the production version until the next beta is available. Due to this bug, the switch back to beta may not happen and you'll need to manually reinstall the beta version if you end up in that situation. Alternatively, you can stick with the production version for now until the issue is resolved.
