- Optimizely Feature Experimentation

[Flags](https://www.optimizely.com/optimization-glossary/feature-flags/) let you control feature releases and experiment rollouts and enable A/B tests or targeted deliveries without code changes. Custom Flags Dashboard serves as the central hub where you can see your [flags](docId\:eH-UMm_rOn_GdGDGLV6__), [A/B tests](docId:8pnfCv-sR37goLcxTtCPv), [targeted deliveries](docId:_BjMxuGwwlVrhkNcx2kzm), and[ multi-armed bandit optimizations](docId\:F5-ZUIoxCu2_XRy26tO-b), along with their statuses. Custom Flags Dashboard also includes metadata about the flag rule's experiment types, targeting rules, and their environment.
