+## Change Log Experiment
+
+On all googlesource.com Gerrit instances we are currently running a UX
+experiment in the Change Log. Some users will see a new version of that view,
+and we would like to collect feedback and validate these changes before rolling
+out to all users.
+
+## What is changing?
+
+- The "Only Comments" toggle is renamed to “Show all entries” and is set to off
+by default.
+
+- The rules for when log entries are shown have changed: All human messages are
+shown, but for autogenerated messages they are only shown on one patchset. If
+for example a CI system posts on patchsets 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and a Linter posts on
+patchsets 3, 5, 6, then the CI messages are only shown on ps 7, and the Linter
+messages are only shown on ps 6.
+
+- Full comment threads are shown in expanded entries instead of just the latest
+reply.
+
+- The additional filters/expanders "show all x messages" and "show x more" are
+removed, because the default filtered view is assumed to be short enough, such
+that additional filtering does not help. Users likely prefer a bit more
+scrolling than having to expand some hidden messages.
