I put my new feature behind a beta flag or experiment flag. If the flag is off for a user, they don't see it.

Then I turn it on just for the user I test with in prod. Then I test in prod.

When it's time to enable the feature for the rest of the users, the same system let's me slowly dial up which users can see the feature. This separates deployment from launch, which is also a great best practice.
