### Feature rollouts <a href="#featurerollouts" id="featurerollouts"></a>

We take a staged rolled-out approach for significant new features and control access with a configuration. This allows you to collaborate with your Fairmarkit team to learn about the feature changes in advance and determine the optimal timing for adoption.
