Hello,

I did search but couldn't find anything.

I have disabled the export in the settings file  
"menu-item-export-library": false,

But I can still export through the context menu.  
How do you disable items in the context menu.

TIA

Hi @HarryPottar

It looks like the context menu isn't honouring those settings properly.

I have raised an issue to get this fixed: [`menu-item-export-library` option not being applied to context menu · Issue #4617 · node-red/node-red · GitHub](https://github.com/node-red/node-red/issues/4617)
