I honestly don't know what is going on with the interface changes. But i also have trouble turning on the experiments. Even when enabled the variation section is stuck in

The experiment is in a *draft* state and has not been started yet. This rule will be skipped.

I'm starting to feel like using an updated version should be a choice I make as a user not it being forced on me. These are things I was doing seemlesly and they are becoming less obvious.

Hi Angella, sorry about that. It looks like you have an experiment rule defined for your feature flag. For your feature flag to include the rule, the experiment needs to be running. You can start the experiment by clicking 'view experiment' in the UI that's pictured in the screenshot

That means i need to set up the metrics. I just want to test this in dev.

Metrics aren't required to start an experiment. Is it okay for you to start the experiment without metrics for now, so you can test, and then later, start again with the metrics added?
