Enable and disable a plugin implementation

You can choose to make a plugin implementation inactive using the Disabled checkbox. You can, for example, enable the plugin implementation for testing and disable it for production. It is important to understand, however, that you can still access a disabled plugin implementation and call it from code. Enabling or disabling a plugin implementation is only meaningful for plugins that care about the distinction. For example, you must enable a plugin for use in messaging in order for the plugin to work and for messages to reach their destination. If it is a concern, then the plugin user must determine whether a plugin implementation is enabled.

If the enabled-disabled status of a plugin is changed, the application must be restarted to activate the change.
