The **Feature Manager** in **WebHost Manager (WHM)** allows you to control which features appear in your customers’ cPanel accounts. By creating and assigning feature lists, you can customize the tools available to each hosting package.

## Why Use the Feature Manager?

- Provide tailored access to cPanel features based on hosting plans.
- Hide advanced tools from beginner customers to simplify their experience.
- Ensure consistency across accounts by linking packages to feature lists.
- Improve security by disabling features customers don’t need.

## Creating a Feature List

1. **Log in to WHM.**
2. In the search box (top left), type **package**.
3. Under **Packages**, click **Feature Manager**.
4. Under **Add a New Feature List**, enter a name (e.g., *Basic*, *Advanced*).
5. Click **Add Feature List**.
6. A list of available features appears.
7. Select the checkboxes for features you want to include.
8. Click **Save**. You can now assign this feature list to hosting packages.

## Adding a Feature List to a Package

1. In WHM, search for **Edit a Package**.
2. Select the package you want to edit.
3. Under **Settings**, locate the **Feature List** dropdown.
4. Choose the feature list you created.
5. Click **Save Changes**. Accounts using this package will now only display the selected features.

## Editing a Feature List

1. In WHM, search for **Feature Manager**.
2. Under **Manage Feature List**, select the list you want to edit.
3. Click **Edit**.
4. Adjust the features by checking or unchecking boxes.
5. Click **Save**.

## Deleting a Feature List

1. In WHM, search for **Feature Manager**.
2. Under **Manage Feature List**, select the list you want to delete.
3. Click **Delete**. The list is removed immediately.

> **Note:**
- Feature lists apply only to accounts linked to packages that use them.
- Deleting a feature list does not affect existing accounts already using it, but you cannot assign it to new packages.
- Use descriptive names for feature lists to avoid confusion.
