Disabling Actions
Instead of completely deleting an action from a workflow, you way want to disable it. This can be useful for testing purposes, because disabling the action allows you to see how your workflow behaves without the action. If the workflow works well, you can then delete the action. One extremely helpful benefit of disabling an action is that if you do change your mind, you can always enable the action and you won't lose any of the settings that you may have configured.
To disable an action in a workflow:
- Select the action in the workflow area.
Choose Action > Disable (Figure 4.31).

or
While holding down the
key, click the action's title bar to display the contextual menu and choose Disable (Figure 4.32).

After you disable an action, it appears dimmed within the workflow (Figure 4.33). When you run your workflow, the action is simply ignored.
