### On workspace enabled

The specified folders get disabled and greyed out in the Project view. You won't be able to select, move, rename them; or to drag/drop items onto them.

### On workspace disabled

The disabled folders are enabled again.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can specify an **entire path** by chaining folders with a "/" character. Make sure to enter the folder's path without the "Assets/" part.

Note that all sub-folders will be disabled too.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Note that **certain operations are** **still possible** on disabled folders, like for instance saving a file into them, or moving files into them using the OS File Manager. The disabling is purely a UI lock in Unity's Project view.
{% endhint %}
