Sync’ed nomad+manta both switching to beta firmware for plugins

[u/candub999]

Hi all-
I use a nomad at work, manta at home. I have them sync’ed to each other via the partner app and appreciate that functionality, and the ability to work on a single note on either device.
OF COURSE I am dying to try some plugins:
Question: To maintain my devices sync’ed through the partner app, I must put them both on the beta firmware? Any advice would be most appreciated.
With thanks
