Feature Toggles
===============

The Higher Education Package allows you to disable some features in case you don't want to use them
or you want to use your own implementation.

If a feature is disabled, the corresponding typoscript, TCA, CSS, plugin configurations, hooks, scheduler
tasks and so on won't be included by the Higher Education Package. This can lead to invalid plugins or TCA
configuration if the feature was used and afterwards disabled.

Features can be switched on and off in the Extension Configuration module in the backend.
