Setting up Reviews for Team Workflows

You can enable reviews for all Statsig resources such as feature gates, dynamic configs, segments, and experiments that you'll likely deploy to a production environment.

Turning on Change Reviews for a Project​

As a Project Admin, you can configure your project to require reviews for any changes. To enable reviews for your project,

  • Navigate to the Project Settings page
  • Click on the Edit button next to Config Review Requirements

  • You can optionally allow yourself as a project admin to bypass the review requirement and self-approve review requests.

  • Now when you make any configuration changes, say to a feature gate or experiment, you'll be asked to Submit for Review; you can add reviewers when you submit the change for review

Enforcing Team Reviews​

You can a priori restrict who can make changes to your Project by (a) turning on Reviews Required for your Project and (b) adding designated Review Groups or Reviewers when you create the Feature Gate or Experiment.

For (a), see section Turning on Change Reviews for a Project to turn on project-wide reviews. For (b), as an owner of a Feature Gate or Experiment, you can add designated Review Groups or Reviewers at any time as shown below. This ensures that only these designated groups or members can review and approve any subsequent changes. When another member now tries to edit these designated review groups/reviewers, this will require approval from currently designated reviewers.

Self-approvals for Admins​

As a Project Admin, you can allow yourself and other Project Admins to self-approve review requests. To turn on this setting,

  • Navigate to the Project Settings page
  • Click on the Edit button next to Config Review Requirements
  • Click the checkbox to Allow Project Admins to self-approve reviews as shown below

Skipping reviews in dev and staging environments​

If reviews are required on your project, you can add explicit sections for Development and Staging tier rules. These are identical to a rule that has a rule that includes an AND condition that specifies Environment Tier = Dev/Staging. Changes made to the explicit Dev/Staging tier rules do not require approval.
