When you create a new flag, it will always be created in all 3 environments: production, preview and development. You can then toggle the flag and set rules for each environment individually.

Changing rules in one environment does not affect the other environments. This allows you to test your feature for example in the preview environment before enabling it in production.

The context menu in the top right corner allows you to copy rules from one environment to another. This will overwrite the rules in the target environment, please be careful.

​
Using environments

If you deploy to Vercel, the SDK will automatically detect the environment and use the correct flag.

When you use the SDK in your application, you can manually specify the environment you want to use:

// /api/edge-flags.ts
import { createEdgeHandler } from "@upstash/edge-flags";

export default createEdgeHandler({
  // ... omitted for brevity
  environment: "preview",
});

// ...

If you do not specify an environment, the SDK will try to figure out the environment based on the VERCEL_ENV environment variable. If it is neither specified nor VERCEL_ENV is set, it will default to development.
