How can I selectively show tabs in panel?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Is there a way to selectively show addons like actions, knobs

I want to hide globally and then pick certain stories that should show them

Docs has a good way of disabling per story but I'd like a way of enabling per story.

I feel like this would exist but I'm not understanding. I tried excluding from addons in main.js and then using the .story = {decorator: [knobs]} kind of syntax

@dvnrsn you can use showPanel to completely show or hide that panel based on the story https://storybook.js.org/docs/configurations/options-parameter/#per-story-options

This doesn't quite address the job to be done seeing as I generally want to show only a few of the addons. It is good to know about because I would use it. However, when I apply the following code on an individual story, it seems to apply to every story, hiding the panel globally which is not desired.

export default {
  title: 'mycomp',
  component: mycomp,
  parameters: {
    options: {
      showPanel: false,
    }
  }
}

Just found this blog https://medium.com/storybookjs/declarative-storybook-configuration-49912f77b78 which seems to articulate the future of storybook config. I realize I joined this party right when there were some major changes happening so I might need to adjust my config to this standard. To solve my problem here, perhaps manager.js is necessary as indicated in the link provided by shilman above.

@dvnrsn I think it's all or nothing. You can hide the entire panel or show it. You can't selectively hide tabs currently.

Ah, ok.

What I learned is that one must include the addon in main.js addons AND sometimes include it in the story itself (eg decorators: [withKnobs]). It would be cool to have a way to only include tabs when desired, but this is not the current intention of addons.
