Features configure your development tools to use Anaconda-provided channels and package indexes. Enable a feature to apply its configuration; disable it to remove it.

```bash theme={null}
ana feature <enable|disable> <FEATURE> [OPTIONS]
```

  Replace \<FEATURE> with a feature name.

<Tip>
  If you omit the tool flag, `main-x` defaults to `--conda`.
</Tip>

## Examples

### Enable the main-x channel

This feature adds Anaconda's `main-x` channel to your conda or pixi configuration.

```bash theme={null}
ana feature enable main-x --conda
```

```bash theme={null}
ana feature enable main-x --pixi
```

### Disable a feature

Pass the same tool flag you used when enabling:

```bash theme={null}
ana feature disable main-x --conda
```

### Skip the confirmation prompt

If your tool's configuration file already has settings that will be modified, use `--force` to skip the confirmation:

```bash theme={null}
ana feature enable main-x --conda --force
```
