Ask for review and merge it. - [ ] Remove all references to the feature flag from the codebase. - [ ] Remove the YAML definitions for the feature from the repository. - [ ] Create [a changelog entry](https://docs.gitlab.com/development/feature_flags/#changelog). - [ ] Ensure that the cleanup MR has been deployed to both production and canary. If the merge request was deployed before [the code cutoff](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/releases/#self-managed-releases-1), the feature can be officially announced in a release blog post. - [ ] `/chatops run auto_deploy status <merge-commit-of-cleanup-mr>` - [ ] Close [the feature issue](ISSUE LINK) to indicate the feature will be released in the current milestone. - [ ] If not already done, clean up the feature flag from all environments by running these chatops command in `#production` channel: `/chatops run feature delete <feature-flag-name> --dev --pre --staging --staging-ref --production` - [ ] Close [the rollout issue](ISSUE LINK).
