Hide the parts of SquadBear a workspace does not use - hidden modules keep their data and history

SquadBear ships seven optional modules - Time Tracking, Attendance, Kiosk, Team Health, Company Documents, Processes and Performance. Hide any of them from a workspace that does not use it. Kiosk and Performance start turned off.

How

Go to Settings → Modules - one switch per module. Turning a module off asks for confirmation and names what stops. Leave, people and teams, the inbox, agents and the workspace settings no module owns are not toggleable.

Where a module's own settings live

Each module's own configuration sits under Settings, in a group named after the module: Time tracking (editing window and time categories), Attendance policies and Kiosk devices under Time and attendance; Health models (the models teams rate against) and Retro formats under Team health; Review settings (how long reviews are kept, and whether anytime feedback is always named) under Performance; and Issue trackers. Projects are not settings: they are Time tracking → Projects.

When a module is off

Turning a module off removes its pages from the sidebar and its cards from Home for everyone. Nothing is deleted: its data and history stay exactly as they were, and turning it back on restores them. Overdue reminder emails for that module pause while it is off and resume when it comes back on.

An old link into a module that is off lands on an explanation page - "Time Tracking is turned off". An admin gets a Turn on Time Tracking button on that page; everyone else is told to ask an admin. Kiosk devices keeps rendering behind an inline notice instead, so a paired tablet can still be revoked or purged while Kiosk is off.

A hidden module's tools drop out of a connected agent's tool list, and whoami reports how many were hidden that way. The API refuses a call into a hidden module with 403 module_disabled, naming the module that is off and linking its guide.

A module toggle controls visibility in one workspace. No plan entitlement gates a module.

Worked example

Northlake does not run team health checks. Marta turns off Team Health at Settings → Modules - it disappears from the sidebar for all 15 people. Three months later she turns it back on to trial with the Platform team; the module returns with its history intact.
