Types Of features
Ongoing Experiments
These are still in the Alpha/Beta versions. They are likely to change before final release.
Stable features
These features have been marked as stable by the developers but may be activated/deactivated if found to cause issues or unneeded for your website.

- An activity indication
Statuses:
- Alpha: Likely to change and evolve
- Beta: Fairly stable but will need checks. Usually active by default only on new sites
- Release Candidate: Stable, minor changes might be added but the feature is mostly complete
- Dev: Like Alpha, this is likely to change and evolve, but this is only in the Dev version
Activity Indicators:
- Green: Active (even if the value “Default’ is selected)
