Versioning Prompts and Tools: Safe Rollouts with Feature Flags

Advanced Topic 7 of 8

Versioning Prompts and Tools: Safe Rollouts with Feature Flags

Why versioning matters

Small prompt changes can shift behavior. Version prompts like code.

Feature flags

Use staged rollouts: internal → 5% users → 25% → 100%.

Rollback

Always keep the ability to roll back quickly when a regression appears.
