MM5.6 Feature flags

Definition

Please talk with a Digizuite consultant before enabling or disabling feature flags.

Feature flags provide access to one or more locked away functionalities, which are still in testing phases.

You can enable or disable it in the site configuration file - usually named “appsettings.json”.

The following steps need to be followed in order to enable or disable a beta functionality hidden behind a feature flag:

Connect to the server which your site is installed on.
Locate the “appsettings.json” file (usually found in “C:/webs/yourSite.com/appsettings.json” or wherever the Webs folder is located).
Make a backup of the file, and edit the original.
In the image below, we have examples of some feature flags (“EnabledFeatures”). Insert or remove the flags you see fit, to enable or disable the features of your choosing.
Save the file.
Recycle the site’s app pool through Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager (image below).
