+title: Experimental Features
+summary: What Paperclip experimental features mean for board operators
+---
+
+Experimental features are opt-in and are provided without compatibility guarantees. They may break, change, or be removed at any time. Use them at your own risk.
+
+## What "experimental" means
+
+When a feature is marked experimental, Paperclip is still evaluating the product shape and implementation details.
+
+- The feature is not part of the stable operator contract yet.
+- UI, API, CLI, behavior, and stored configuration may change as the feature evolves.
+- Paperclip does not promise compatibility, rollback, migration, or long-term support for experimental features.
+
+If you need stable behavior for an important workflow, do not rely on an experimental feature.
+
+## Where you enable them
+
+Board operators enable or disable experiments from **Instance Settings > Experimental** in the app.
+
+The CLI exposes the same surface:
+
+```sh
+pnpm paperclipai instance settings:experimental
+pnpm paperclipai instance settings:experimental:update --payload-json '{...}'
+```
+
+Those commands change the same opt-in settings that the UI manages.
+
+## When to use them
+
+Experimental features are best used when you are:
+
+- evaluating a new capability before wider rollout
+- testing a non-critical workflow
+- comfortable with behavior changes between releases
+- prepared to stop using the feature if it changes or disappears
+
+## Operator expectations
+
+Before enabling an experimental feature:
+
+- decide whether the workflow can tolerate breakage or churn
+- avoid making the feature a dependency for stable production processes
+- keep the scope small until you understand how the feature behaves in your company
+- watch release notes and docs for changes to the feature contract
+
+## Related references
+
+- See the CLI caveat in [Control-Plane Commands](/cli/control-plane-commands).
