 Since the filtering happens at the root level of the application and its result is not calculated every time you navigate to a new page, you may want to call `router.refresh` in a custom component that watches when values that affect the result change. In the example above, you would want to do this when `supportedLocales` changes on the tenant document.
 
-## Experimental Options
-
-Experimental options are features that may not be fully stable and may change or be removed in future releases.
-
-These options can be enabled in your Payload Config under the `experimental` key. You can set them like this:
-
-```ts
-import { buildConfig } from 'payload'
-
-export default buildConfig({
-  // ...
-  experimental: {
-    localizeStatus: true,
-  },
-})
-```
-
-The following experimental options are available related to localization:
-
-| Option               | Description                                                                                                                                                                                 |
-| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| **`localizeStatus`** | **Boolean.** When `true`, shows document status per locale in the admin panel instead of always showing the latest overall status. Opt-in for backwards compatibility. Defaults to `false`. |
-
 ## Field Localization
 
 Payload Localization works on a **field** level—not a document level. In addition to configuring the base Payload Config to support Localization, you need to specify each field that you would like to localize.
