# Remove Features

Type: `removeFeatures`

This handler removes features from a node that is part of the workflow's payload. This can be used to remove one or more features from your content instances as they flow through your workflow.

The `config` for this handler is as follows:

```
{
    "features": [{
        "qname": "<feature qname>"
    }]
}
```

Each of the features identified by `qname` will be removed from the documents attached to the workflow payload. Here is an example configuration which assumes that two custom features are defined and removes them - `custom:approved` and `custom:emailed`.

```
{
    "features": [{
        "qname": "custom:approved"
    }, {
        "qname": "custom:emailed"
    }]
}
```
