Good morning, is it possible to hide a feature on premises using PowerShell instead of re-deploying the wsp?

    Hi, @Luiz Gouvea ,

    I have tested in my end. To hide features we need to edit the .xml file in server side and wait for a while.

    The cmdlet mentioned in this thread seems not working in my end. The xml file is not modified after running them in the PowerShell. Thus I have to directly add the attribute in .xml file in server side manually and wait for a while.

    Update: After testing I find that you need to add $featureXMLfile.save($thisXMLfile) after the cmdlet to update. Or the change will not get saved.
