About This Feature
Disco Labs provides early access to beta features that are in development. This enables Admins to test new functionality before general release, offer feedback, and help shape product direction. Labs features are optional – Admins can choose to opt in to use certain Labs features and not others – and may evolve based on feedback and performance.
How It Works
Labs features are showcased in the Labs section of Admin Settings. Each feature includes a short description, feedback form and a toggle to turn it on. When a feature is enabled, it becomes active in the community. Features marked as Labs are in active development and may be updated, refined, or removed based on usage and feedback.
How To Join Disco Labs and Enable Features
- Go to Admin > Settings > Labs.
- Click “Join Disco Labs”.
- Browse the available features and review the descriptions.
- Use the toggle next to any feature to turn it on or off.
- Once enabled, the feature will become available for use in the community.
- To disable a feature, turn off the toggle.
