Feature Management

Some versions of the Passwords app contain checks to enable or disable additional functionality. Those features are usually complete in the app itself, but require changes in other apps or extensions to be fully completed. Therefore, the app uses a file in the user handbook to check if the feature can be enabled safely. Which features can be enabled depends on the version of the Passwords app. Features that don't exist in a version of the app can't be enabled and features which are no longer equipped with a feature check can't be disabled. This system is intended to help with the introduction of new features, it is not intended to manage which features your uses have access to.

Managing Features

If you want to enable or disable features, you need to self-host the user handbook. The file _features/features-v1.json is used to enable the features. This file will be fetched once per day from the handbook and is then cached in the default cache of the app.

Note: Enabling features which are disabled by default can cause issues and is not supported.

Note: Once a feature is considered to be stable, the option to enable/disable it will be removed.
