Thanks for the reply - yea these are great points to consider and raised a few of them. Ideally rollouts benefit all customers, and the concern is that there is some possibility that something might not jive with them and they want the ability to do testing ahead of time.

Seems like putting as many things that might risk this under settings/configurable as possible? This does extend development to have to gate everything in this way though.

In my experience it was just not doing huge UX reorganisations without prior notice.

I’d dig deeper into the why with your customers, after we understood moving buttons around causes people’s day to be hard we did it only when really justified etc.

I wouldn’t hold up releases for customers, but do dig into the why more with your customers about why they want this notice, you may find it’s just an assurance something like a workflow isn’t totally different next Monday morning.
