Feature Flags
Lifecycle Settings
Lifecycle Settings gives you more control over how LaunchDarkly identifies stale flags. You can now customize the “ready to archive” and “ready for code removal” calculations on a per-project basis, allowing your team to define flag cleanup rules that match your organization’s own standards.
This update also includes a redesigned archive workflow that provides clearer visibility into a flag’s lifecycle state and whether it’s safe to archive, helping teams clean up with confidence.
Why it matters
Stale flag cleanup is critical for long-term flag management, but every organization defines “stale” differently. Lifecycle Settings lets teams tailor LaunchDarkly’s status calculations to their own workflows so they can more easily organize, filter, and operationalize flag cleanup.
