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'.
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.
Enable sharing to MoodleNet so teachers can share content to MoodleNet, if they have the capability moodlenet:shareactivity (enabled by default for managers and teachers.)
Enable commmunication providers - so that admins can configure course communication options such as Matrix or a custom link.
