Feature flags are an essential part of how we introduce and test new features in WooCommerce. However, we’ve heard that our current communication about these features could be improved. Many users tell us they either don’t know about new features until they’re already in core, or don’t feel they have enough time to prepare when features move from experimental to permanent.
We Need Your Input
We’re exploring ways to better communicate about:
- New features available for testing behind feature flags.
- Upcoming feature flag deprecations.
- Changes becoming permanent parts of core.
We’ve opened a GitHub discussion to gather your thoughts on potential solutions, including an expanded notification system and alternative communication approaches. We especially want to hear from both technical users (developers/agencies) and merchants about how we can better serve your needs.

Your input will directly shape how we improve our feature flag communications.
