Fine-tune your studio

FoundryInk can do a lot, but your studio does not have to do all of it. Per-studio feature toggles let you switch off what you do not produce, so your workspace and your public page show only what fits. Less noise, more focus.

1Flip only what you use

In Studio, then Settings, you'll find the feature switches (all on by default): Assets, Blog and news, Subscriptions, Crowdfunding, Cameos, Allow reviews on my work, and more. Turning one off hides that feature for your studio and blocks creating new ones, so a news-only studio can switch off Assets, and a studio that never crowdfunds can hide it entirely.

Switching a feature off keeps any existing data. Turn it back on later and it returns.
Pro note
New studio? Turn off what you know you won't touch this year. You can always flip it back on the day you need it.

2Tidy your public page

Separately, you can hide public-page tabs that do not fit. Every tab (Feed, Series, Crowdfunds, News, Blog, Community) shows by default; uncheck the ones you do not use so visitors are not clicking into empty tabs. If you never blog, hide the Blog tab, and your page reads exactly like the studio you actually run.

Pro note
An empty tab is a tiny letdown for a new reader. Hide the ones with nothing behind them yet.

3The payoff: less noise

A tuned studio is easier to run. Your own menus show fewer things you never use, new-work prompts only offer what you make, and readers see a page that is all signal. It is the difference between a tool that feels overwhelming and one that fits the work you do.

Pro note
Come back and re-tune whenever your studio grows into a new feature. Fit the tool to the work you're doing now.

Quick questions

No. Switching a feature off hides it and blocks creating new ones, but existing data is kept. Turn it back on and everything returns.

A feature toggle switches the whole capability on or off for your studio. Hiding a tab just removes it from your public page. You can hide a tab even for a feature you still use privately.

Assets, if it makes no comics of its own, plus anything else it doesn't do. That leaves a clean studio focused on posts and its audience.

Any time. As your studio grows into new features, flip them back on. Fit the tool to what you're making right now.

A studio that fits you

Only the features you use, only the tabs with something behind them. Next, bring your team into the studio.
