Description

Documentation for the feature-flag changes shipping in the same release: nine optional features become standard and leave the Feature Flags page, five more default on, and the Feature Flags entry moves up a level in the settings menu.

Three pages change.

admin/feature_flags/PRO__feature_flags.md

  • The FAQ said upgrading never changes your settings. That is not true for a feature promoted to standard in the same release — its stored setting is cleared, because an instance that had opted out would otherwise stay off with no toggle left to change it back. Answered directly rather than left for a reader to discover, with a matching entry for "a feature I had turned off is on again after an upgrade".
  • "A feature I want is not in the list" now covers the other reason a feature can be missing: it became standard.
  • Connector Requests is no longer shown as Unavailable on This Deployment on-premise, because it is off the page entirely. Its availability row says that instead.

navigation/PRO__settings_menu.md — Feature Flags is no longer inside the System group. It sits above the groups, directly under All Settings, and is still filed under System in the All Settings directory. The group table and the "what moved" table both follow.

sensei/threat_modeling.md — threat modeling is on by default and a superuser can switch it off or back on from the Feature Flags page, rather than being enabled per instance on request during beta. It stays labeled BETA, and the Sensei entitlement is unchanged.

English only. The de/es/fr/ja translations are regenerated from the English source through the pipeline described in docs/TRANSLATIONS.md rather than hand-edited.

…settings menu

Nine optional features are now on for every instance and no longer listed on the
Feature Flags page, so the page needed to explain what it means for a feature to
leave that list.

The FAQ said upgrading never changes your settings. That is no longer true for a
feature promoted in the same release: its stored setting is cleared, because an
instance that had opted out would otherwise stay off with no toggle left to change
it back. Answered directly rather than left as a surprise.

Connector Requests is no longer shown as "Unavailable on This Deployment" on-premise
-- it is off the page entirely -- so its availability row says so.

Threat Modeling is on by default and switchable by a superuser, rather than enabled
per instance on request, and Feature Flags now sits above the settings groups
instead of inside System.

English only; the de/es/fr/ja translations regenerate from these pages through the
pipeline in docs/TRANSLATIONS.md.
