# Feature Gating

Learn how to toggle feature gating in a paywall.

What [#what]

Toggle [feature gating](/docs/dashboard/dashboard-creating-paywalls/paywall-editor-settings#feature-gating) on a paywall to change whether or not a placement restricts access to features.

Why [#why]

When you use "non-gated", it means users will still see a paywall *but* will have access to whatever feature is behind that paywall. This can be useful to allow access to pro features for a limited time — which hopefully will lead to more conversions later on down the road.
