               ferroelectrics is a long-standing challenge in materials science
               and condensed-matter physics. These nanoscale polar structures
               are characterized by polar nanodomains, which are believed to
               play a key role in enabling the large susceptibilities of
               relaxors. Using epitaxial strain, we stabilize the intermediate
               step during polarization rotation in epitaxial films of a
               prototypical relaxor and study the co-evolution of polarization
               and polar nanodomains. Our multimodal approach allows for a
               detailed examination of correlations between polarization and
               polar nanodomains; illuminates the effect of local chemistry,
               strain and electric field on their co-evolution; and reveals the
               underappreciated role of strain in enabling the large
               electromechanical coupling in relaxors. As the strain increases,
               the competition between chemistry-driven disorder and
               strain-driven order of the polar units intensifies, which is
               manifested in the coexistence of inclined and elongated polar
               nanodomains in the intermediate step of polarization rotation.
               Our findings establish that structural transitions between polar
               nanodomain configurations underpins the polarization rotation
               and large electromechanical coupling of relaxors. Properties of
               relaxor ferroelectrics are governed by polar nanodomains.
