You use feature toggles, also known as feature flags, to enable or disable features in Grafana. You can turn on feature toggles to try out new functionality in development or test environments.
This page contains a list of available feature toggles. To learn how to turn on feature toggles, refer to our [Configure Grafana documentation](../#feature_toggles). Feature toggles are also available to Grafana Cloud Advanced customers. If you use Grafana Cloud Advanced, you can open a support ticket and specify the feature toggles and stack for which you want them enabled.
For more information about feature release stages, refer to [Release life cycle for Grafana Labs](https://grafana.com/docs/release-life-cycle/) and [Manage feature toggles](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/<GRAFANA_VERSION>/administration/feature-toggles/#manage-feature-toggles).
Most [generally available](https://grafana.com/docs/release-life-cycle/#general-availability) features are enabled by default. You can disable these feature by setting the feature flag to "false" in the configuration.

[Public preview](https://grafana.com/docs/release-life-cycle/#public-preview) features are supported by our Support teams, but might be limited to enablement, configuration, and some troubleshooting.
| `panelTitleSearch` | Search for dashboards using panel title |
| `autoMigrateOldPanels` | Migrate old angular panels to supported versions (graph, table-old, worldmap, etc) |
| `autoMigrateGraphPanel` | Migrate old graph panel to supported time series panel - broken out from autoMigrateOldPanels to enable granular tracking |

| `grpcServer` | Run the GRPC server |

[Experimental](https://grafana.com/docs/release-life-cycle/#experimental) features are early in their development lifecycle and so are not yet supported in Grafana Cloud.
| `frontendSandboxMonitorOnly` | Enables monitor only in the plugin frontend sandbox (if enabled) |

| `cachingOptimizeSerializationMemoryUsage` | If enabled, the caching backend gradually serializes query responses for the cache, comparing against the configured `[caching]max_value_mb` value as it goes. This can can help prevent Grafana from running out of memory while attempting to cache very large query responses. |
| `prometheusCodeModeMetricNamesSearch` | Enables search for metric names in Code Mode, to improve performance when working with an enormous number of metric names |
| `alertmanagerRemoteSecondary` | Enable Grafana to sync configuration and state with a remote Alertmanager. |
