Blender Version
Broken: Blender 2.92.0 geometry-nodes-branch-November 9-fa5190e742e2-Windows 64 bit

I just finished watching blender today on Youtube and I decided to try the latest geometry nodes branch. Upon downloading and opening the program I noticed I couldn't find the "Geometry Node Editor" from the drop down list like how Pablo did it in the stream.

Screenshot from the stream-

This is my first bug report, so I am unsure if I followed the correct procedure but I hope this helps the team.

To get access to the Geometry Node Editor you must first activate it in the user preferences. Follow these steps to activate it:

From the top of Blender select Edit -> User Preferences
Select the Interface tab from the left and enable the option Developer Extras
Now select the Experimental tab from the left and enable New Geomtry Nodes

Marking this report as resolved due to the comment made by @Peeeynk

@DaveStromberger I saw your comment earlier today but didn't reply to it. Sorry.
The reason why you may not be seeing the Geometry Node Editor is because Blender 2.92 master is missing most of it's functionaly and so enabling the option in the settings just enables the Simulation Node Editor which is lacking in most of it's funtionality. To gain access to a version of Blender with "full" Geomtry Node functionality, you must use the Geometry Nodes branch of Blender. An pre-compiled version of this branch of Blender can be found here: https://builder.blender.org/download/branches/
