+The **Enable** column has no effect in C# code. However, if the singleton is a
+C# script, a similar effect can be achieved by including a static property
+called ``Instance`` and assigning it in ``_Ready()``:

+This allows the singleton to be accessed from C# code without ``GetNode()`` and
+without a typecast:
