# Hide a Capable feature from users

To hide a Capable capability from everyone, a Confluence site administrator opens **Global settings**, selects the **Capabilities** tab and switches the capability to Hidden. It disappears from the Capable navigation, the byline and the command palette. To hide it in one space only, a space administrator sets it to **Never** in Capable's space settings.

## Before you start

| **You want to**                                            | **Who and where**                                                        |
| ---------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Hide a capability everywhere                               | Site administrator, **Capabilities** tab in Global settings              |
| Hide a capability in one space                             | Space administrator, Capable in the space's settings, under Integrations |
| Switch off a feature, such as AI or calendar subscriptions | Site administrator, **Features** tab in Global settings                  |

📝

**Hiding is not disabling.** A hidden capability's macros stay in the insert menu, and macros already on pages keep rendering. To stop something working, use its switch on the Features tab where there is one.

## Steps

1. Open **Global settings** for Capable in Confluence administration.
2. Select the **Capabilities** tab.
3. Find the capability and switch it to Hidden. It saves straight away.
4. To switch off a feature instead, select the **Features** tab and turn off its switch, for example **AI integrations** or **Calendar subscriptions**.

## What happens next

Other people see the change within about a minute, or up to five minutes in a tab that was already open. A global hide always wins: no space setting brings the capability back. Sites, Quality and Forms also depend on your edition, so making them Visible is not always enough.
