Can someone point me to the beta documentation for editing the lockscreen? I've seen discussion here about it, but have been unable to figure out how to accomplish this by tinkering around, nor can I find any information in Apple's beta release notes. Thanks.

Share Your Bug Reports with AppleVis
If you experience a bug in Apple Beta Software, the most important thing you can do is to file a report in Feedback Assistant. Please do not assume that Apple is already aware of a bug or that your report won't make a difference; your report may provide crucial information, and submitting bug reports directly to Apple helps them reproduce and resolve the issue faster. The more reports they receive, the higher the priority Apple is likely to give to fixing the bug.
If you are using beta software, please use the Feedback Assistant on your device to submit feedback and bug reports. If you are using a public release, this blog post explains how to report the issue and what information to include.
In 2025, AppleVis launched the Community Bug Reporting Program with the goal of improving the quality and quantity of information we share with the community about bugs in Apple software releases. If you would like to contribute to this effort, please submit your reports via our Community Bug Report Form.
All reports shared with AppleVis must first be filed with Apple via Feedback Assistant. More information about the Community Bug Program is available here.

What I figured out
Thanks, all. Sometimes I just need a resounding silence and a few hours of banging my head on a brick wall, and then the heavens open and all becomes clear.
First, it's just a double tap and hold (or a triple tap). This wasn't working for me, and my discovery was that this works with my iPad in portrait mode, but not in landscape.
The other thing I discovered is that customizing the lock screen works about the same as it did since iOS 16. Apparently, the WWDC lock screen customization feature hasn't been rolled out yet.
Broken in beta 2
Hi Paul,
I don’t know about you, but for me it is not working in beta 2. I can do the double tap and hold, and the first screen is ok, but once I select the Customise button, VoiceOver stops working.
It wasn’t great before this, so I’m hoping the complete break is part of the process of fully fixing it.

Hm. Can't reproduce
Thanks, Dave.
If I put it in portrait mode, triple tap the lock screen, then find and select the customize button. it takes me to controls that let me modify the wallpaper. VoiceOver seems fully operational.
I didn't attempt to modify the wallpaper. Not much point. I've got the 3rd-gen iPad Pro.
