Hi.

We have a very spefic scenario that is the preparation of an existing document to be electronically signed by different individuals.

And, since we are using stamp annotations as placeholders to the future signatures, we cannot allow users to group, rotate or resize the annotations.

(1) Is there a way to disable these features?  
(2) Is there a official list of features/elements names? We noticed that these features have been introduced after the update from 7.x to 8.x., A lot of features that have been previously disabled using the code bellow don`t work anymore:

```javascript
WebViewer(
                {
                    disabledElements: [
                        'freeHandToolGroupButton',
                        'textToolGroupButton',
                        'shapeToolGroupButton',
                        'freeTextToolButton',
                        'stickyToolButton',
                        'toolsButton',
                        'miscToolGroupButton',
                        'signatureToolButton',
                        'eraserToolButton',
                        'viewControlsButton',
                        'annotationPopup',
                        'notesPanelButton',
                        'textPopup',
                        'contextMenuPopup',
                        'textSelect',
                        'menuButton',
                        'outlinesPanelButton',
                        'notesPanel',
                        'documentControl'
                    ]

                },
                viewer.current
            )

```

Some could be disabled using `instance.UI.disableFeatures` but `instance.UI.disableElements(['menuButton', 'page-nav', 'print']);` don’t seems to work, I’m very confused finding the correct names of the features and buttons.

Regards,
