How & Where to put?

  • Hide from UI (toggle the component)
  • Make backward compatible API / Schema changes
  • Do not add to paths which shouldn't be reached (eg. UI already hid, no call to API)
  • Add close to the change
  • Test both execution paths
  • Do not toggle refactors (except "dramatic" ones)
