+## Feature Flags
+
+This package uses feature flags to enable or disable some functionality. You can enable or disable them by loading
+the `feature-flags` module with a configuration. You have to do this **before** loading any other Spirit Web SCSS file.
+
+Example with fictional feature flag to enable fullscreen modal:
+
+```scss
+@use '~@lmc-eu/spirit-web/scss/settings/feature-flags' with (
+  $modal-enable-fullscreen: true
+);
+
+@use '~@lmc-eu/spirit-web/scss/foundation';
+// …
+```
+
+Every feature flag should also provide a class selector that can be used to enable or disable the feature.
+You can use this class if you want to limit the usage of the feature to a specific part of your application.
+Place the class on any parent element of the component you want to enable the feature for.
+
+Example:
+
+```html
+<body class="spirit-modal-enable-fullscreen">
+  <!-- … -->
+  <div class="Modal">
+    <!-- … -->
+  </div>
+</body>
+```
+

+The enhanced shadow feature is disabled by default. To enable it, either set the `$dropdown-enable-enhanced-shadow`
+feature flag to `true` or use the `spirit-dropdown-enable-enhanced-shadow` CSS class on any parent of the dropdown.
