parent feature to expand the tree and view child features.
When you change the installation state of a feature, the name of the feature and the names of all its
child features, if any, are displayed in bold font. This indicates that Setup will apply these changes to
the installation. Features that are not displayed in bold font are installed by using the default installation
state. To remove a change, select the feature and select the Reset option or select the feature and
choose the Reset Branch button.
