More flexible targeting, metric exploration, and data administration

Target string values with contains

String targeting conditions now support contains, making it easier to match values when an exact, prefix, or suffix comparison is not appropriate.

Reorder metrics in exploratory analysis

Metrics in the metrics explorer can now be reordered, giving you more control over how an analysis is organized and presented.

Schedule materialized segment loads

Materialized segments support scheduled load jobs. Owners can configure when segment data should be refreshed and follow the status of those jobs.

Additional improvements

  • Use two data warehouses during a warehouse migration.
  • Search for metric display names containing percent signs.
  • Edit credential display names.
  • Configure verified login domains through account administration.
  • GitHub Enterprise Cloud repositories are supported by GitHub integrations.
Metric lifecycle management and improved flag configuration

Manage the metric lifecycle

Metrics can now be created as drafts and published when they are ready for use. Lifecycle states are visible in metric lists and pickers, and metrics can be archived or restored.Verified and code-managed indicators make it clearer which metric definitions have been reviewed or originate from a repository.

Configure flag rules more easily

The flag rule creation flow has been redesigned with clearer targeting controls and a more focused configuration experience.

Explore metric definitions

Open a metric directly in the metrics explorer with its relevant configuration already selected. Metric diagnostics also expose more of the data behind calculations.

Additional improvements

  • Filter the metrics catalog by lifecycle state.
  • Select numerator and denominator filters in the metric explorer.
  • Choose an owner when creating a materialized segment.
  • Access documentation, the blog, and support through the header help menu.
Metric exploration and materialized segment details

Create metrics from the metrics explorer

The metrics explorer can now create a metric or measurement from the current analysis. Metric filters support contains and does not contain, and metric pickers show the preferred direction of each metric.

Inspect materialized segments

Materialized segment details now include Bloom filter information, making storage and distribution characteristics easier to understand.

Additional improvements

  • Rollout schedule editing and validation are clearer.
  • Group identities appear in identity selection.
  • Theme names can be edited inline.
  • Flag rule cards display readable country names instead of country codes.
More flexible flag management, surface filtering, and experiment configuration

Archive flags with active rules

Flags can now be archived without first removing all active rules. This simplifies cleanup while preserving the flag’s existing configuration and history.

Filter experiments by surface properties

Experiment lists on surface pages can be filtered by property, making it easier to find experiments that affect a particular part of a surface.

Additional improvements

  • Randomization and allocation can be optional where the workflow supports it.
  • Metric SQL previews correctly support LIKE filters.
  • Exposure filters are preserved when metric data is updated.
  • The updated flag page is now the default experience.
Fact table dimensions, automatic flag cleanup, and improved multi-variant experiments

Explore fact table dimensions

Explorations can now use dimensions from the fact table that backs a metric, in addition to dimensions from related dimension tables.

Automate flag cleanup

Automatic flag cleanup runs scheduled checks for unused flags. Agents can remove unused flags from your codebase and archive them in Confidence. The first release supports GitHub and Cursor, with more integrations and cleanup capabilities planned.To get started, go to Flags and select Cleanup.

Filter ratio metric numerators

Ratio metrics now support filters that apply only to the numerator. This gives you more control over which events contribute to the numerator without changing the denominator.

Configure multi-variant experiments

Experiments with more than two variants now have simpler weight selection. The transition from an A/B test to a rollout also preserves multi-variant configurations more smoothly.

Additional improvements

  • Confidence has an updated look and feel, which is rolling out gradually.
  • Cloudflare telemetry is more reliable.
Webhooks, HyperLogLog metrics, and activity feeds

Receive activity notifications through webhooks

Webhooks can send Confidence activity notifications to your HTTPS endpoint. Use them with external systems, monitoring tools, or custom notification workflows.

Use HyperLogLog metrics

Confidence now supports HyperLogLog metrics for approximate distinct counts over large datasets.

Follow resource activity

The home page now includes an activity feed for important events from resources you follow. You automatically follow resources that you create.

Additional improvements

  • Result pages load faster.
  • Selecting environments in flag rules is easier.
A redesigned report editor and experiment workflow improvements

Create richer reports

The report editor has been redesigned. It now includes templates, an AI writing assistant, more formatting options, image uploads, and metric tables. Open it from the Reports tab of any live or completed experiment.

Target string prefixes and suffixes

New starts with and ends with criteria support rules such as targeting users whose email address ends with a specific domain. This capability is available as a beta.

Coordinate experiments with exclusivity guidance

Exclusivity groups can now be marked as required or suggested for a surface. These settings make the intended coordination between experiments clearer.

Estimate experiment duration

The updated sample size calculator is now available to everyone. It estimates how many days an experiment design requires and provides a visual breakdown of its sample size requirements.

Additional improvements

  • Ratio metrics support numerator-only filters.
  • Configure the initial reach of a rollout from the sidebar.
  • Launch and end notifications in Slack include the hypothesis, variants, targeting, results, surfaces, and owner.
  • Entity pages support editing more properties, including the display name.
AI experiment reviews, expanded MCP tools, and sample size forecasting

Review experiments with AI

The AI review agent is now available to everyone. It helps teams review their experiments autonomously against your organization’s guidelines.

Inspect flags through MCP

The Flag MCP server has three new capabilities:
  • Pass summary=false to getFlag to retrieve detailed rule configurations and timestamps.
  • Use getFlagHistory to see who changed a flag, which fields changed, and when. You can filter the history by date range.
  • Use getIdentityInfo to resolve identity references to readable names when reviewing flag history.

Forecast experiment duration

The sample size calculator beta now estimates expected traffic, shows how expected and required sample sizes change over time, and predicts how many days an experiment needs to run.

Access experiments through MCP

The new Experiments MCP server is available as a beta. AI agents can list experiments, inspect individual experiments, read results, and retrieve related metric and fact table definitions.
Labels, local OpenFeature providers, and SDK improvements

Organize resources with labels

Labels are now available for flags, metrics, A/B tests, and rollouts. Create your own labels to categorize resources and make them easier to find.

Resolve flags locally

Production-ready local OpenFeature providers are now available for Go, JavaScript, Java, and Rust. They provide near-zero-latency flag resolution and greater resilience.

Additional improvements

  • Select all metrics returned by a search in the metric picker.
  • Boolean flags automatically populate treatments when you create an A/B test.
  • Large exploratory analyses load faster.
  • The Go OpenFeature provider supports native Go structs for stronger type safety and less parsing.
  • The JavaScript OpenFeature provider includes React and Next.js utilities for server-side and client-side feature flags.
Early previews for AI reviews and labels, plus experiment design improvements

Choosing proxy metrics

Our new article, When proxy metrics shape product development, explores the risks of optimizing for a metric that only approximates the outcome you care about.

Early previews

  • An agentic review assistant can check whether rollouts and A/B tests follow your organization’s guidelines.
  • Metric labels let you annotate and organize metrics with your own labels.
These capabilities are available as opt-in previews.

Additional improvements

  • Minimum detectable effect (MDE) is now optional for success metrics.
  • The hypothesis is now in the main experiment design area instead of the sidebar.
Environment-specific flag rules and targeting suggestions

Configure environments

Environments separate flag behavior across deployment stages such as development, staging, and production. Use the same client in several environments while assigning different credentials to each one.Flag rules can now apply only in selected environments. To get started, configure your environments, assign client credentials, and add environments to your flag rules.

Get targeting value suggestions

Confidence can suggest recently used values when you configure targeting. Mark non-personally identifiable information (non-PII), such as an app version, in your context schema override to enable suggestions for that field.

Additional improvements

  • React to comments and review responses with emoji.
  • View rollout progress in the overview table.
  • Set and format hypotheses with Markdown more easily.
  • Flag filter conditions have a clearer visualization.
