Want to test NVDA 2023.1 beta and have addons that NVDA reports as incompatible? It's always best to wait for the developer of said addons to update and test their addons. However, if you'd like, follow these steps:
Click start, open the NVDA folder, and select explore NVDA user config ...
open addons, and in each addon folder, edit manifest.ini.
Find a line that says lastTestedNVDAVersion= ...
Remove the old text i.e. 2.22.1 and replace with 2.23.1 and you'll be cookin with gas.

Keep in mind, you should back up your NVDA settings before doing this because, if you break it or the addons are actually incompatible, you'll be really sad and will have to pick up the pieces yourself. I hope this helps at least someone. I, for one was surprised that I was able to get things working without too much heartache. Your mileage/kilometerage may vary. Have fun!
