-Visual Studio Code collects telemetry data, which is used to help understand how to improve the product. For example, this usage data helps to debug issues, such as slow start-up times, and to prioritize new features.  While we appreciate the insights this data provides, we also know that not everyone wants to send usage data and you can disable telemetry as described in [disable telemetry reporting](#disable-telemetry-reporting).

+## Feature availability and telemetry
+
+VS Code uses an A/B experimentation system to roll out new features to a subset of users before making them generally available. This helps us validate that a new feature is working as expected across a diverse set of users before rolling it out to everyone. By participating in experimentation, you help us improve the quality of VS Code and can help shape the future of the product through early feedback.
+
+To enable this experimentation system, VS Code uses the usage data telemetry data to determine which users should receive the new feature. If you disable usage data telemetry by setting `setting(telemetry.telemetryLevel)` to `error`, `crash`, or `off`, experimentation is not available to you and the roll out of new features to you might be delayed.

 ## Extensions and telemetry
 
 VS Code lets you add features to the product by installing Microsoft and third-party extensions. These extensions may be collecting their own usage data and are not controlled by the `setting(telemetry.telemetryLevel)` setting. Consult the specific extension's documentation to learn about its telemetry reporting and whether it can be disabled.
