Enabling and Disabling Features

The Feature Console tab displays the features that you can enable for a particular application and release. When a feature is enabled, automatic configuration tasks run for that feature. Some features may require you to perform both automatic and manual steps. The Feature Console does not verify that manual tasks have been completed.

Warnings:

Some features cannot be disabled after they have been enabled.

Perform steps for each feature in the order that they are listed. To ensure upgrade tasks are completed correctly, wait for the status of a step to change to "Done" or "Skipped" before you attempt to perform the next step.
