Hi, I noticed the MacOS Sierra public beta GM Candidate shows up in the App Store purchased section as simply "MacOS Sierra" wheras for El Capitain, the public beta GM candidate shows up in the purchased section as "OS X El Capitan GM Candidate"

When Sierra is released officially next week, I assume it will called "MacOS Sierra" as well, so i'm not sure how we'll distinguish the GM Candidate from the official release in the purchased section of the App store. One possibility is that there won't be seperate entries, and the GM seed will just be updated to the official release version?

Rather confusing it is! :confused:

There seems to be 16A320 and 16A322 builds floating around for the MacOS 10.12 GM, so I wonder what the next build-number will be like...

I have the 16A320 build, installer version 12.0.47:

Downloaded the installer again today, the installer changed to version 12.0.48:

It'll be whichever one is higher up the list. They may also just link the current macOS Sierra to the public release.
