Feature Toggles

Baulit has a lot of features. Not every builder needs all of them. Feature toggles let you turn off the parts of the interface you do not use, giving you a cleaner, simpler app that shows only what matters to your workflow.

How Feature Toggles Work

Feature toggles operate on a two-layer system:

Layer 1: Subscription tier. Your subscription tier (Free, Pro, or Enterprise) sets the baseline of available features. Some features are only available on paid plans. You cannot toggle on a feature that your tier does not include.
Layer 2: Per-user toggles. Within the features your tier allows, you can individually turn each feature on or off. This is a personal preference setting — it only affects your account.

The result: your tier determines what is possible, and your toggles determine what you actually see.

Accessing Feature Toggles

Open Settings. Click the gear icon or navigate to Settings from the app menu.

Click the Features tab. The Features tab shows a list of all toggleable features with switch controls next to each one.

Toggle features on or off. Click the toggle switch to enable or disable a feature. Changes take effect immediately — no save button needed.

Toggleable Features

Gantt Chart	The Schedule tab with Gantt chart and CPM visualization
Change Orders	The Change Orders tab on projects

Ask Baulit V2	The next-generation AI query interface
Punch List	The Punch List tab on projects

Data Safety

Your data is never deleted. Toggling a feature off hides the user interface for that feature. It does not delete any data associated with it. If you turn off Daily Logs, your existing logs are preserved in the database. Turn the feature back on and they reappear exactly as you left them.

This means you can freely experiment with toggling features without worrying about losing work. The toggle controls visibility, not data.

The effectiveView Routing Guard

If someone shares a link to a feature you have toggled off (for example, a link to the Gantt chart when you have disabled the Gantt feature), Baulit does not show an error page. Instead, the routing guard automatically redirects you to the Dashboard. This prevents confusion from broken or inaccessible views.

The same guard applies to bookmarks and browser history. If you bookmarked the Reports Hub and later toggle off Reports, that bookmark will redirect to the Dashboard until you re-enable the feature.

Tier Interactions

Some features are gated by subscription tier. If a feature is not available on your tier, the toggle switch is disabled and shows a lock icon with a note about which tier includes that feature. Upgrading your tier automatically unlocks the toggle.

If you downgrade your tier, features that were available on the higher tier become locked again. Your data is preserved, but the toggle switches are disabled until you upgrade. The features are hidden from the interface, but nothing is deleted.

Tip: If you are on the Free tier and want to evaluate what Baulit can do before upgrading, the Features tab shows you exactly which features are available on each tier. It is a quick way to understand the difference between plans without leaving the app. See Subscription Tiers for full details.

Common Scenarios

Simplifying the interface for small projects

If you are managing a small remodel where you do not need Gantt charts, change orders, or budget tracking, toggle those off. Your project view becomes a clean task list with daily logs — nothing more. This reduces visual clutter and lets you focus on what matters for that scale of work.

Onboarding new team members

For team members who only need basic task management, toggle off advanced features to reduce the learning curve. They see a simpler interface and can focus on updating task statuses and writing daily logs without being overwhelmed by CPM scheduling and budget analysis.

Seasonal feature use

Some builders use templates heavily at the start of each project but rarely touch them during construction. Toggle Templates off during active building to declutter your Settings view, and toggle it back on when you are planning the next project.
