How to disable a block from rendering in the admin?

[phucbm]

I need to temporarily disable some blocks from rendering while still keeping its data on the page. I wonder if there could a disable button in the block menu here?

Are you trying to prevent your frontend from rendering the block, but still keep the block visible/editable on the backend (payload admin dashboard)? If so, the way we've achieved this is to add a field called "active" (checkbox type) that defaults to true. On the frontend we have a check like if (!active) return. This way we can uncheck "active" to hide from the frontend without deleting the data. Make sure you set the field to default to true so you don't have an editor forget to turn it on and wonder why the new content isn't rendering.
