### Enabling and Disabling Plugin Components
*(v1.0.76+)* The `/plugins` command (or `copilot plugin list` in non-interactive mode) now includes **enable/disable toggles** for individual plugin components. You can turn off specific agents, instructions, hooks, LSP servers, or entire plugins without uninstalling them:
> **Breaking change (v1.0.81+)**: The `/plugins` command has been **removed**. Its functionality moved to dedicated commands: `/plugin` (plugin dashboard), `/mcp` (MCP servers), and `/skills` (skills), with `/subagents` for custom agents and `/instructions` for instructions.
Run `/plugin` (or `copilot plugin list` in non-interactive mode) to see **enable/disable toggles** for individual plugin components. You can turn off specific agents, instructions, hooks, LSP servers, or entire plugins without uninstalling them:
```
/plugins
/plugin
```
This opens an interactive list where each installed plugin and its components are shown with a toggle. Disabling a component hides it from Copilot without removing it from disk — useful for temporarily deactivating a hook that is too noisy, or turning off a plugin's instructions when working on a different type of project. Re-enable the component at any time from the same `/plugins` menu.

*(v1.0.81+)* `/plugin` also flags installed plugins and marketplaces that have a newer version available upstream, and offers an **Update** action to pull the latest version directly from the dashboard.
> **Note**: Enabling and disabling hooks and LSP servers individually is temporarily unavailable following the `/plugins` removal — those toggles previously lived only in the retired dashboard.
