317+ 318+ 319+ When setting the configuration ``tools.env:deactivation_mode `` to ``function `` in your profile or in
320+ ``global.conf ``, the deactivation scripts will no longer be generated.
321+ 322+ Instead, an *in-memory * deactivation function will be available in the
323+ current shell session as soon as you activate the conan environment.
324+ 325+ Moving from the classical Conan workflow:
326+ 327+ .. tabs ::
328+ 329+  .. code-tab :: bash 
330+ 331+  $ source conanbuild.sh
332+  $ ...
333+  $ source deactivate_conanbuild.sh

339+  $ .\d eactivate_conanbuild.ps1
340+ 341+ To the new workflow,
342+ 343+ .. tabs ::
344+ 345+  .. code-tab :: bash 
346+ 347+  $ source conanbuild.sh
348+  $ ...

355+  $ deactivate_conanbuild # from anywhere in the shell
356+ 357+ By executing this function, the environment will be restored and the function will no longer be
358+ available in the current shell session. This behavior emulates the well known ``virtualenv `` Python tool.
359+ 360+ .. attention ::
361+ 362+  This feature does not currently support Windows Command Prompt (``.bat `` files).
363+  It is only available for PowerShell and Bash-like shells.
