Note for sites upgrading from earlier versions of Moodle:
 
The experimental setting 'Group members only' has been removed in Moodle 2.8. The conditional availability setting 'Restrict access' now provides this functionality. Any group members only instances are automatically converted to restricted access instances as part of the site upgrade process.

An administrator can enable certain experimental features from the Experimental settings page of Site administration.

An experimental feature is defined as a feature which require additional testing and bug-fixing.

  • Drag and drop upload of text/links (See MDL-22504 for further details.)
  • Path to SassC - this setting allows an admin to specify the path to a binary file that will be used to compile SASS. When this field is set (and valid) - the provided compiler will compile SASS code instead of Moodle's built in PHP compiler. This makes the process of compiling SASS significantly faster. (See MDL-61394 for further details.)
  • Context freezing - this allows an administrator or user with the capability moodle/site:managecontextlocks to make categories, blocks, courses or course content 'read only' (from 3.6 onwards).
  • Content cleaning everywhere
  • Enable course relative dates, allowing courses to be set up to display dates relative to the user's start date in the course (from 3.8 onwards).
