# Hide a Capable capability in one Confluence space

To hide a Capable capability in one Confluence space, a space administrator opens **Space settings**, selects **Capable** under **Integrations**, and on the **Capabilities** card sets that capability to **Never**. It disappears from the Capable menus in that space only. Other spaces, and macros already on pages, are not affected.

## Before you start

| **You need**                                 | **Why**                                                                                                 |
| -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| A space administrator for the space          | Everyone else sees the settings read-only, with **You must be a Space Admin to change these settings.** |
| The capability not hidden for the whole site | A site-wide hide always wins, so there is nothing to change per space.                                  |

## Steps

1. In the space, open **Space settings**, then **Capable** in the **Integrations** group.
2. Under **Space Capability Settings**, find the **Capabilities** card.
3. Open the dropdown next to the capability and choose **Never**. It saves straight away.

## What the options do

| **Option** | **What it does today**                                                           |
| ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Auto**   | Show when relevant. The default.                                                 |
| **Always** | Currently behaves the same as Auto.                                              |
| **Never**  | Hides the capability in this space. The only option that changes anything today. |

## If it does not work

* Some capabilities show a read-only **Available from Capable Menu** badge instead of a dropdown. They cannot be controlled per space.
* You want it gone everywhere: a site administrator uses the **Capabilities** tab in Global settings instead. See [Hide a Capable feature from users](https://help.gocapable.com/capable/hide-a-capable-feature-from-users.html).
* People still see it: allow about a minute, or up to five in a tab that was already open.
