# Feature flags (/docs/brands/settings/feature-flags)

Every switch in Settings › Rules › Features — what each one turns on or hides for admins and creators — plus the trial switch.

Feature flags switch optional parts of Bloss on or off for your brand. They're in the **Feature Flags** card, under <UiPath>Settings › Rules › Features</UiPath>. Each switch saves as soon as you flip it.

## The switches [#the-switches]

| Switch                                  | When on                                                                                                                    | Where it shows                                                                                                                     |
| --------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Hide brand-wide stats from creators** | Charts, leaderboards and team tables are hidden from creators.                                                             | Removes **Creators Hub** from the creator portal. Your own admin views are unchanged.                                              |
| **Bounties**                            | Shows bounty boards to creators and admins.                                                                                | Adds **Bounties** to the admin sidebar and the creator portal.                                                                     |
| **Streak Survivors**                    | Shows streak survivor games to creators and admins.                                                                        | Adds **Streak Survivor** to the admin sidebar and the creator portal.                                                              |
| **Video Tracking**                      | Lets you track individual videos (often trial or unlisted ones) by URL. It doesn't affect creator sync or any other stats. | Adds **Individual Videos** to the admin sidebar. See [Tracking individual videos](/docs/brands/videos/tracking-individual-videos). |
| **Referral Bonus**                      | Records a flat bonus when a referred creator becomes active. Enter the **Referral payout amount** and click **Save**.      | Adds **Referral Payouts** to the admin sidebar. See [Referral payouts](/docs/brands/payouts/referral-payouts).                     |

Turning a switch off hides the feature again. It doesn't delete anything you've already set up.

<Callout title="The locked-cycle warning">

  If a running cycle has locked rules, switching **Bounties**, **Streak
  Survivors**, **Video Tracking** or **Referral Bonus** first shows **Current
  cycle won't be affected**. Feature flags aren't part of a cycle's pay rules:
  click **Save anyway** and the change applies straight away.

</Callout>

## Trial [#trial]

New creators can go through a <Term id="trial">trial</Term> before they become full members. The **Trial Settings** card in <UiPath>Settings › Rules › Trial</UiPath> has its own **Enabled** / **Disabled** switch:

| Field                           | Meaning                                                                             |
| ------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Views per Video**             | Each video must reach this many views on its own to count toward the trial.         |
| **Trial Duration**              | The window, in days from joining, in which the creator must reach the goal.         |
| **Number of Videos to Qualify** | How many qualifying videos the creator needs. **0** skips the trial check entirely. |

Click **Save Trial Settings**. When the trial is disabled, creators pass automatically when they join. See [Trials](/docs/brands/creators/trials) for how creators move out of trial.
