# Features Configuration

> Control which portal sections and features are available to your customers by enabling or disabling specific functionality modules.

## Overview

Features configuration allows you to customize your members portal by selectively enabling or disabling different sections and functionality. This central control system determines which features appear in your portal's navigation menu and which services are available to your customers.

Different coworking spaces offer different services — this system lets you present only the features that are relevant to your location. Disabling unused features creates a cleaner, more focused experience for your customers while reducing confusion and support inquiries.

Navigate to [**Settings → Website → Features**](https://dashboard.nexudus.com/settings/2/0/3) in your Nexudus dashboard to configure these settings.

## Portal features

You can toggle each of the following features on or off. Features with additional configuration options link to a dedicated settings page.

## Key interactions

### Access control integration

Feature enablement works in conjunction with [access control](/operators/portal-configuration/access) settings. Even when a feature is enabled, you can still restrict access based on customer type (public, logged-in users, contacts, or members). This two-layer system provides granular control over your portal experience.

### Navigation impact

Enabled features automatically appear in your portal's navigation menu. Disabled features are completely hidden, creating a streamlined interface that matches your location's service offerings.

### Mobile app synchronization

Many of these feature settings also control availability in the Nexudus mobile app, ensuring consistency across all customer touchpoints.

## Important implications

<Warning>
  Disabling core features like "My account" may prevent customers from managing essential functions like billing and
  profile updates. Consider the complete customer journey before restricting access to fundamental sections.
</Warning>

### Feature dependencies

Some features work better together:

* **Directory** and **Discussion boards** create stronger community engagement
* **Events** and **Articles** support comprehensive programming communication
* **Visitor registration** requires staff training on NexIO integration for optimal effectiveness

<Tip>
  Start with core features (for example, My account, Help desk) and gradually enable additional sections as
  your community grows and your service offerings expand.
