Packs & capabilities

Optional features ship as packs. Brochure sites do not turn them on until you install then enable a capability.

From the hub (site owners)

  1. Open Hub → Site.
  2. Scroll to Packs & capabilities.
  3. For a pack on disk but not installed: Install & enable.
  4. For an installed capability that is off: Enable (or disable when you want it off).

Quiet chips in the edit session can point at the same “available” list. Dismiss per capability; they reappear when the version changes. Rediscover anytime under Site.

What enable does

Activation runs the pack recipe (entities, grants, defaults, placement tasks) with collision detection — nothing silently overwrites. After enable, placement offers guide where to put widgets. You still own pages and nav.

Contact form: Contact form.

Mail (outbound)

Forgot-password, contact, and similar need the mail pack to reach an inbox:

  1. Hub → Site → Packs & capabilities — Install & enable mail.
  2. In the yellow edit-session notice, set the From address (e.g. Site Name <noreply@example.com>). Optional: send a test from the same notice.

A live site must send real mail — log-only is refused. Operators: see Packs (CLI + Admin).
