Enable preview features
VSTS
As new features are introduced, you can turn them on or off. That way, you can try them out, provide feedback, and work with those features that meet your requirements.
Some features provide a new user interface and functionality, which can be managed per user or team member. Others support a default experience for the account and are managed by an account administrator.
Note
You can turn on or off select features for VSTS. Preview features become available first on VSTS and then subsequently are made available with an update to TFS. At some point, the preview feature will be moved out of preview status and become a regular feature of the web portal.
Enable features for your use
From time to time, a new feature is introduced in Preview mode, which allows you to turn it on or off.
To access the Preview features options, open your user account menu, and select Preview features.
To enable or disable a feature, click the slider.
Enable features at the account level (for all users)
When you enable a feature at the account level, you essentially turn it on for all users of your account. Each user can then disable the feature if they so choose.
Tip
If you don't see the user/account menu option, then you aren't an account administrator. To get added as one, see Add administrators, set permissions at the team project or collection level.
