+=== Update connector features API
+++++
+<titleabbrev>Update connector features</titleabbrev>
+++++
+
+beta::[]
+
+Manages the `features` of a connector. This endpoint can be used to control the following aspects of a connector:
+
+* document-level security
+* incremental syncs
+* advanced sync rules
+* basic sync rules
+
+Normally, the running connector service automatically manages these features. However, you can use this API to override the default behavior.
+
+To get started with Connector APIs, check out the {enterprise-search-ref}/connectors-tutorial-api.html[tutorial^].
+
+[[update-connector-features-api-request]]
+==== {api-request-title}
+
+`PUT _connector/<connector_id>/_features`
+
+[[update-connector-features-api-prereq]]
+==== {api-prereq-title}
+
+* To sync data using self-managed connectors, you need to deploy the {enterprise-search-ref}/build-connector.html[Elastic connector service] on your own infrastructure. This service runs automatically on Elastic Cloud for native connectors.
+* The `connector_id` parameter should reference an existing connector.

+(Required, string)

+
+`features`::
+(Required, object) An object containing connector features.
+
+* `document_level_security` (Optional, object) Controls whether document-level security is enabled with the `enabled` flag.
+* `incremental_sync` (Optional, object) Controls whether incremental syncs are enabled with the `enabled` flag.
+* `native_connector_api_keys`(Optional, object) Controls whether native connector API keys are enabled with the `enabled` flag.
+* `sync_rules` (Optional, object) Controls sync rules.
+**  `advanced` (Optional, object) Controls whether advanced sync rules are enabled with the `enabled` flag.
+**  `basic`(Optional, object) Controls whether basic sync rules are enabled with the `enabled` flag.

+The `connector_id` was not provided or the request payload was malformed.
+
+`404` (Missing resources)::
+No connector matching `connector_id` could be found.

+
+The following example updates the `features` field for the connector with ID `my-connector`:

+The endpoint supports partial updates of the `features` field. For example, to update only the `document_level_security` feature, you can send the following request:
+
+[source,console]
+----
+PUT _connector/my-connector/_features
+{
+  "features": {
+    "document_level_security": {
+      "enabled": true
