# Experimental features
Enabling an experimental feature allows you to test a new feature under development before its official release.
Experimental features (also known as "feature flags") are aimed at experienced and adventurous users, who want to test a feature that is not yet stable enough for general use. Even though it sounds exciting, you should be aware of the risks of such experiments:
* Experimental features are still under development. Enabling them could therefore have unintended consequences and cause data loss.
* In any case, you never experiment in production.
### Enabling the experimental product page
The experimental product page is available on PrestaShop 1.7.8. This page benefits from increased performance and includes new features such as a new combination management system. It is a work in progress and some features are not available yet.
To make the experimental product page visible in your back office, enable the feature in **Advanced Parameters > Experimental Features** and save.
Then, go to **Catalog > Products**. You should notice some changes, specifically a new button: "New product on experimental page". Click on it to open the experimental product page.
You can also edit an existing product on the experimental page, by selecting this option in the hamburger menu in the Actions column of the product listing.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.prestashop-project.org/v.8-documentation/user-guide/configuring-shop/advanced-parameters/experimental-features.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
