+=== The noneditable feature can now be disabled with the new `allow_noneditable` option.
+// #TINY-10121
+
+Previously, the noneditable plugin was converted to a feature in core in {productname} 6. The feature was always enabled with no documented way to turn it off, which was not always desirable for integrators.
+
+In {productname} {release-version}, a new xref:non-editable-content-options.adoc#allow_noneditable[`+allow_noneditable+`] option is available. It is enabled by default. When set to `+false+`, the noneditable feature is disabled, equivalent to disabling the plugin prior to {productname} 6.
