# Preview
Ruff includes an opt-in preview mode to provide an opportunity for community feedback and increase confidence that
changes are a net-benefit before enabling them for everyone.
Preview mode enables a collection of newer rules and fixes that are considered experimental or unstable.
## Enabling preview mode
Preview mode can be enabled with the `--preview` flag on the CLI or by setting `preview = true` in your Ruff
configuration file (e.g. `pyproject.toml`).
## Using rules that are in preview
If a rule is marked as preview, it can only be selected if preview mode is enabled. For example, consider a
hypothetical rule, `HYP001`. If `HYP001` were in preview, it would _not_ be enabled by adding following to your
`pyproject.toml`:
```toml
[tool.ruff]
extend-select = ["HYP001"]
```
It also would _not_ be enabled by selecting the `HYP` category, like so:
```toml
[tool.ruff]
extend-select = ["HYP"]
```
Similarly, it would _not_ be enabled via the `ALL` selector:
```toml
[tool.ruff]
select = ["ALL"]
```
However, it would be enabled in any of the above cases if you you enabled preview in your configuration file:
```toml
[tool.ruff]
extend-select = ["HYP"]
preview = true
```
Or, if you provided the `--preview` CLI flag.
