Disabling Contribution Function

You can disable a function to control the availability of each contribution at runtime. This function returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the contribution is disabled.

 

  • When a contribution is disabled, it is hidden from the user interface for a cleaner experience.

  • Even when it is hidden, the function continues running in the background, so it can maintain state or perform background tasks.

  • You can change the disabled state dynamically, which gives you flexible control over feature availability without stopping the underlying processes.
