| feature action in the right pane of the dialog or in the context menu. |
| The action is available only when the feature is currently enabled, and the |
| feature is either an optional feature or a root feature (not included by other |
| features).</li> |
| <li><b>Enable a feature</b>: Turn on disabled features filtering from the |
| dialog toolbar, then select a disabled optional or root feature and click on |
| the "Enable" feature action in the right pane of the dialog or in |
| the context menu.</li> |
| <li><b>Uninstall </b>a feature: features installed by you using the update |
| manager can be uninstalled, provided they are already disabled, or that they |
| are optional or root features. If the feature is disabled, make sure you turn |
| on the disabled features filtering from the dialog toolbar. Select the feature |
| and click on the "Uninstall" feature action in the right page of the dialog or |
| in the context menu. </li> |
