thanks, @geekpete! I left a quick question on here based on my read of the setting
I wasn't able to locate the setting in 9.x docs, so may not be relevant to that version.
both of these pages / settings are available in the new docs:
https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/kibana/configuration-reference/fleet-settings#_preconfiguration_settings_for_advanced_use_cases
https://www.elastic.co/docs/deploy-manage/users-roles/cluster-or-deployment-auth/built-in-roles
I assume that if experimental features (or this experimental feature) are enabled by default in 8.18, the same would go for 9.0+.

this is a copyedit, but I think we need more info here. the xpack.fleet.enableExperimental seems to take a specific feature flag name. the setting is described of "List of experimental feature flag to enable in Fleet" Perhaps I am misreading and it's just a true/false setting

Used a hard link to Kibana 8.17 docs.
This mention isn't required for 8.18 as the Fleet experimental setting is enabled by default.
