-**Core flag `WOOCOMMERCE_BLOCKS_PHASE=1`:** anything that is not hidden behind a flag, falls under this category, and it contains all of the code that runs on WooCommerce Core plugin.
-**Feature plugin flag `WOOCOMMERCE_BLOCKS_PHASE=2`**: anything that is behind this flag is code that is shipped to our [feature plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woo-gutenberg-products-block/), the files of blocks behind this flag are also present in WooCommerce Core, just not active.
-**Experimental flag `WOOCOMMERCE_BLOCKS_PHASE=3`**: This flag contains things that we're not shipping yet, so unfinished work mostly. These features are only available in developer builds of the plugin.
