With these steps completed, the feature is disabled by default, but can be
enabled on develop by interested users for testing.
Different features may have different deployment plans for when to enable where. The

5. Celebrate! 🥳
## Convert to a regular setting (optional)
Sometimes we decide a feature should always be user-controllable as a setting
even after it has been fully deployed. In that case, we would craft a new,
regular setting:
1. Remove the feature flag from
[settings](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk/blob/develop/src/settings/Settings.js)
and add a regular setting with the appropriate levels for your feature
2. Replace the `isFeatureEnabled` lines with `getValue` or similar calls
according to the [settings
docs](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk/blob/develop/docs/settings.md)
(checking carefully, as we may want a different mix of code paths when the
feature is always present but gated by a setting)
3. Remove the feature from the [labs documentation](https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/blob/develop/docs/labs.md)
4. Remove feature state from
[develop](https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/blob/develop/riot.im/develop/config.json)
