For those of you who are considering testing MacOS 12.3 and currently have Catalina installed, you may want to read this document about installing it on systems where FileVault is enabled.

The document says:

“If your Mac currently has macOS Catalina installed, installing macOS Monterey 12.3 beta or macOS Big Sur 11.6.4 beta on a volume with FileVault enabled might cause a boot loop when attempting to log back into the previous volume,” says Apple.

On a Mac running macOS High Sierra or later, it is possible to install macOS on a separate APFS volume and then switch between versions of macOS, including betas, as if each were on a separate disk. Apple has a support document with more details.

The company released the beta last week.
