How to Find the Feature ID in SharePoint?

Requirement: Get the Feature ID of a particular feature to activate it programmatically.

Solution:

In SharePoint, features are used to add functionality and customization to a site. Each feature is assigned a unique identifier called a Feature ID. The Feature ID is used to activate, deactivate, and configure features in SharePoint. However, finding the Feature ID for a specific feature can be a bit tricky. In this guide, we’ll show you how to easily find the Feature ID for any feature in SharePoint:

We can find any feature’s ID using the browser tools: Internet Explorer Developer Tools, Google Chrome Dev tools, or Firebug in Firefox.

  1. Go to your Site collection Manage Features page (either “Manage Site Features” or “Site Collection Features” e.g: https://Crescent.sharepoint.com/sites/Sales/_layouts/15/ManageFeatures.aspx?Scope=Site)
  2. Press the F12 key to activate IE developer Tools or the Firebug console in Firefox.
  3. With the select element cursor tool from these debuggers, locate the “Deactivate” button of your target feature. Look at the code, You’ll get the Feature ID from the DIV surrounding the Input button element.
