-Strategy constraints allow you to set pre-conditions on activation strategies that needs to be satisfied for the activation strategies to take effect.
+Strategy constraints allow you to set preconditions on activation strategies that must be satisfied for the activation strategy to take effect. For example, you might want a strategy to only trigger if a user belongs to a specific group or is in a specific country.
 
-## Constrain on a specific environment {#constrain-on-a-specific-environment}
+Constraints use fields from the [Unleash Context](../user_guide/unleash_context) to determine whether a strategy should apply or not. You can constrain on both standard context fields and on custom context fields.
 
-The most common use case for strategy constraints is that you want an activation strategy to only take effect in a specific environment. For example, you could enable the feature for everyone in development, while you only expose the new feature to a few percent of users in production.
+To be able to constrain on a field, it must be listed under the Context Field menu. If a field isn't listed, you can add it. See [the section on defining your own custom fields](#define-your-own-custom-fields) for more info.

+## How to add strategy constraints
 
-## Constrain on custom context fields {#constrain-on-custom-context-fields}
+To add a strategy constraint, you'll need a feature toggle with a defined strategy.
 
-It is also possible to constrain an activation strategy configuration on custom context fields. A common use case is a multi-tenant service where you want to control roll-out on a tenant identifier. This allows you to decide which customer should get access to your new feature.
+Then, use the "add constraint" button in the UI, choose your context field, and the appropriate values that you wish to constrain it to.

+### Constraining on standard context fields
+
+To constrain on a standard context field, choose the field you wish to constrain on. If the context field you want to constrain on isn't listed, you'll need to add it manually via the Context Field menu. Follow the procedure as if you were [defining custom context fields](#define-your-own-custom-fields), but give it a name that matches the desired field in the Unleash Context. Note that context fields are case-sensitive.
+
+### Constraining on custom context fields {#constrain-on-custom-context-fields}
+
+If you need context data that isn't available in the default Unleash Context, you can also constrain on custom context fields. A common use case is a multi-tenant service where you want to use a tenant identifier to control the feature rollout. This would allow you to decide which users should get access to your new feature based on the tenant.

+#### Defining custom fields {#define-your-own-custom-fields}
 
 > Starting with Unleash-enterprise version 3.2.28 customers can define their custom context fields via the user interface.
 
-You can also define your own custom context fields that you can use together with strategy constraints. We have seen customers use multiple variants of custom context fields to control their feature roll-out:
+You can also define custom context fields to use with strategy constraints. We have seen customers use multiple variants of custom context fields to control their feature rollout, such as:
+
+- `region`
+- `country`
+- `customerType`
+- `tenantId`
+
+Combining strategy constraints with the [gradual rollout strategy](../user_guide/activation_strategy#gradual-rollout) would allow you to do a gradual rollout to a specific segment of your user base.

+Before Unleash 4.3, using strategy constraints was the recommended way to have different toggle configurations per environment. Now that Unleash has environment support built in, we no longer recommend you use strategy constraints for this. Instead, see the [environments documentation](../user_guide/environments).
