Please elaborate, it's difficult for me to think about a use case around this feature.

Hi and thanks for trying out the panels. The reason for the checkbox was that I'd put together an app where I had a number of panels, each of which was a separate section in a processing workflow and each panel contained a number of options.

The checkbox provided an opportunity to select or deselect that section of a workflow.

This particular use-case is for processing data coming from an analytical chemistry experiment. We had a panel with options for data reduction, another for statistics and another for data output. By deselecting the panel for data reduction, the workflow would just run statistics and data output. I apologize that It sounds a little confusing, and maybe a full example would help.
