Feature Toggle is a functionality in AEM that allows administrators to enable or disable specific features dynamically. This capability is particularly useful for managing Early Adopter features and Prerelease features without requiring major deployments or changes to the codebase. It ensures flexibility and control over which features are accessible in an AEM environment.

Technical Consideration
Feature Toggles are environment-specific and are managed at runtime, so they do not require a server restart. However, some features might require refreshing the relevant pages or clearing the cache to reflect changes.
You can access the list of features enabled through feature toggle for your environment via http://<author-instance-url>:4502/etc.clientlibs/toggles.json.
