> In IntelliJ IDEA: Go to Tools → Kotlin → Configure Kotlin Plugin Updates, then select “Early Access Preview 1.1” in the Update channel drop-down list, then press Check for updates.

so I have the latest Ultimate Edition and when I go fishing for the above I can’t find “Kotlin” under “Tools” in the Preferences panel.

What am I missing ? thanks

You need to look for “Tools” in the main menu, not in the preferences panel.
