## Overview

This topic explains how to use required confirmation for feature flag and segment changes.

Requiring members to confirm that they wish to make changes may help them from changing the wrong flag or segment inadvertently.

<Warning title="Required confirmation is only enforced from the user interface">
  When **Require confirmation** is enabled, members must enter the environment name or key when they make changes from the **Flags** list or **Segments** list in the LaunchDarkly user interface (UI). Confirmation is not required for changes made with the LaunchDarkly API.
</Warning>

When you require confirmation in an environment, members must enter the environment name or key when saving any changes to a flag:
