Dynamic Text feature not showing up in the contextual task bar and properties panel in Illustrator 2027 31.0.0.64 on a Mac OS running Golden Gate

The new dynamic text feature, which has been highlighted in various announcements and recent statements around the build v 31.0.0, is not showing up in any of the intended locations.  I have checked the contextual task bar, properties panel, type menu and used various LLMs and search tools to walk through all possible locations within the app seeking the “T with ⚡️” icon and was unable to find it anywhere.

    I don’t see it either. I'm on the final version of AI 31.0.
    I reinstalled it and cleared preferences, and it's not working on Windows or Mac computer.

    We have rolled out another fix for it. Dynamic Text should now be available. Please update to Beta 31.0.84.

    I was able to use it last week and then an auto-update rolled out 3 days ago and took the dynamic text function away
