Getting started

Understand feature-status labels

What the Live, Beta, Private Beta, In Development, Planned and Concept status labels mean and where you see them across Ottili ONE.

Overview

Status labels tell you how mature a feature, module or product is. You meet them across Ottili ONE: in the documentation, on the public status page, in the Ottili Console and on the website. A label is not a marketing claim — it is a maturity grade that tells you whether something is production-ready, in a preview state, or does not exist yet.

Ottili ONE uses a single canonical vocabulary for feature status. The six labels you see most often are:

Live* – generally available and fully supported
Beta* – publicly available in a pre-release state
Private Beta* – available to an invited group
In Development* – actively being built, not yet available
Planned* – scheduled but not yet started
Concept* – early idea under consideration

The exact list is defined in the Product Truth registry feature_status.yaml and tied to the FeatureStatus enum in libs/product_truth. Each status has a fixed order from Concept up to Live.

Why status labels matter

Status labels help you set the right expectation:

Reliability*: a feature labelled *Live* is generally available and supported — safe for real workflows.
Change*: a feature labelled *Beta* or *Private Beta* may still change; paths, fields or limits can evolve.
Planning*: *Planned* and *Concept* mean something is coming, but not usable yet.

A label is always public and consistent: the same term appears on the website, in the dashboard, in the Console and in the docs, so you never guess between different names.

The six status labels at a glance

Label	Meaning	Publicly visible?
Live	Generally available and fully supported	Yes
Beta	Publicly available in a pre-release state; may change	Yes
Private Beta	Available to an invited group for early feedback	Yes
In Development	Actively being built; not yet available to users	Yes
Planned	Accepted and scheduled, but not yet started	Yes
Concept	Early idea under consideration; not yet scheduled or built	No (internal)

*Concept* is the only one of the six that is not shown on public surfaces. It describes an internal idea before it has been accepted.

The individual labels

Live

Live* means generally available and fully supported. The feature is rolled out to everyone it is intended for and is part of the supported scope of Ottili ONE. You can use it in production.

Beta

Beta* means publicly available in a pre-release state. Anyone can use it, but it may still change — paths, fields or limits evolve as the feature matures. Treat Beta as "running and useful, but still maturing".

A real example: Ottili Coder is publicly available in an open beta; the chat-first coding-agent surface is live and actively evolving.

Private Beta

Private Beta* means available to an invited group for early feedback. Unlike open beta, access is limited — you get access after being invited to an Early Access program. The feature breadth is similar to beta, but availability is deliberately narrow.

One example is Ottili Cloud: Compute is reachable through an Early Access program while further categories such as storage and networking are still planned.

In Development

In Development* means actively being built but not yet available to users. The feature is in progress, but you cannot use it yet. When it becomes reachable it usually moves to Beta or Private Beta.

Planned

Planned* means accepted and scheduled for development but not yet started. The idea is confirmed and on the roadmap — implementation has not begun. Planned is publicly visible so you can see what the product is working on next.

Concept

Concept* means an early idea under consideration, not yet scheduled or built. Concept is the earliest state in the canonical vocabulary. It is internal and not shown on public surfaces — a Concept only becomes visible once it is promoted to Planned.

Beta vs. Private Beta: the key difference

The most common stumbling block is telling *Beta* and *Private Beta* apart:

Beta* is open: anyone with an Ottili account can use the feature.
Private Beta* is closed: only an invited group (for example via Early Access) gets access.

Both are pre-release states and may change. The only difference is the reach of access.

Where you see status labels

Documentation* – articles like this explain status and link to related topics; see [What is Ottili ONE?](/docs/what-is-ottili-one).
Public status page* – [status.ottili.one](https://status.ottili.one) reports the operational state of products and components.
Ottili Console* – areas such as Account, Company and Team carry a status label (e.g. Beta or Early Access); see [Navigate the Ottili Console](/docs/navigate-ottili-console).
Website* – product pages show availability and maturity.

Other states in the same vocabulary

Beyond the six common labels, the canonical vocabulary defines three more states:

Rolling Out* – being progressively enabled for all users.
Deprecated* – still available but scheduled for removal; avoid new use.
Disabled* – turned off and not available (internal, not public).

All nine states share the same source of truth, so a label means the same thing everywhere.
