# Breakpoint commands

Located in the debug menu and the project toolbar, these three commands allow to change the state of set breakpoints in the system.

Enable breakpoints ( ), disable breakpoints ( ) and remove breakpoints ( ) have all global and local actions. Left-clicking on them has a global action: all set breakpoints of the system will be respectively enabled, disabled, or discarded. However, it is also possible to drop a feature or a class onto them, in which case only set breakpoints of the feature/class will be affected.

Note that these commands work only on set breakpoints (that is, enabled or disabled breakpoints). Therefore, discarded breakpoints cannot be set again thanks to these commands.
