Disable course wiki and discussion

Is there a way to disable the course wiki and discussion features and remove these links from the navbar (highlighted in the screenshot below) completely?

Ok so i just worked out how to disable the wiki:
In lms.env.json and csm.env.json change
“WIKI_ENABLED”: true,
to
“WIKI_ENABLED”: false,

I still don’t know how to disable discussion so please do share if you know

Digging further -I found this

github.com

edx/edx-platform/blob/b3845b2b968d116c207edbab29a6830f981ad04f/lms/djangoapps/courseware/tabs.py

class EnrolledTab(CourseTab):

I think this file is where I can disable the discussion tab - but I am not sure where .

I have another lead which is to amend the policy.json which is associated for each course (Course_folder/policies/)

Ok I just worked it out and the answer was very obvious.

Both are enabled and disabled via the lms.env.json
So for Discussion set the following feature flags accordingly
“ENABLE_DISCUSSION_HOME_PANEL”: false,
“ENABLE_DISCUSSION_SERVICE”: false,

For the wiki

Set the following accordingly
“WIKI_ENABLED”: false,

You should note that the wiki command above is not a feature flag and this command should be placed outside of the “FEATURES” group of settings.
