[VSA] Allows user to switch between new and old backend

Background

  • The backend that powers VSA is being updated to use the end date rather than the creation date.
    • This can be very helpful when determining "what items took long time to deliver"
    • It also performs better
  • Users will be opted-in by default in %14.9.
  • The old backend is going away in %15.0.

Task

How can users opt-in and out?

Constraints

  • There is a preference to keep the setting on the VSA main page
  • Switching between settings takes time (30mins?) and is not an action we want users to perform regularly
  • This setting will be removed as part of %15.0

Solution

Toggle Tooltip

Figma file

Care should be taken to make sure our solution tooltip and label combination is inclusive so everyone can contribute.

  • Allow users to opt out of the new backend.
  • After %15.0 it will no longer be possible to opt out.

Future

We can improve the onboarding experience to this change (Thread 1, Thread 2) in a follow up issue.
