# Enabling services

Over time the catalog grows. Some services you stop offering (your scope has changed), others are seasonal, and a few were added by mistake. Bulido lets you **hide them from the catalog** instead of deleting them, so you can bring them back when they're useful again.

## Enabled vs hidden

Each service in the catalog has an **Enabled** checkbox:

- **Enabled** (default): appears in the catalog search when building a quote.
- **Disabled** (hidden): stays in the catalog but doesn't show up while building a quote.

There's a tooltip reminder: *"Disabled services won't appear when creating a quote."*

## How to hide a service

Each entry in the catalog has a **Hide** action. Bulido asks for confirmation: *"Hide this service from the catalog? You can show it later."* Confirm and the service disappears from the catalog list (but stays in the database).

## How to show a hidden service

Hidden services are still in the catalog. Toggle the option that shows disabled items in the catalog view to see them. Each hidden service has a **Show** action that brings it back to the active catalog.

## Hide vs delete

- **Hide**: reversible. The item stays in the catalog with a *disabled* flag. Anything previously added to quotes and projects stays untouched.
- **Delete**: permanent. The item is gone from the catalog. Earlier quotes keep their historical entries, but you can't add this service to a new quote.

In practice: **when in doubt, hide**. Only delete items you clearly don't need (typos, leftovers from an experiment).
