+# Flags :flags:
+
+Flags allow to disable several features inside the application.
+
+## Available flags
+
+Following flags are available:
+
+- `disable-plugins`: Disabling use of plugins
+- `disable-adjust-origin`: Disabling automatic adjustments to origin coordinates
+- `disable-cmmn`: Disabling `CMMN-Editor`
+- `disable-dmn`: Disabling `DMN-Editor`
+
+All flags are _not_ set per default.
+
+## Use a configuration file
+
+One way to use flags persistently is to create a `flags.json` configuration file inside your user directory. Just modify the configuration file inside your local `{APP_DIRECTORY}/resources` or `{USER_DATA_DIRECTORY}/resources`  location. 
+
+### BPMN-only mode example
+
+One example of using the flags is the BPMN-only mode. To disable the `CMMN-` and `DMN-Editor`, simply modify the `flags.json` configuration file with
+
+```js
+{
+    "disable-cmmn": true,
+    "disable-dmn": true
+}
+```
+

+
+## Use the CLI
+
+Another way to enable feature toggles is simply using them while starting the application via command line on Windows and Linux. E.g. in the case of disabling the `DMN-Editor`, add the following argument to the start command:
+
+```sh
+$ camunda-modeler --disable-dmn
+```
