Say I duplicated a complex Zap, and want to create a streamlined, simple version.
Instead of deleting intermediary steps, I want to TOGGLE them off.
Meaning they are momentarily bypassed/disabled until I toggle those steps back on.
How do I do this?
In other apps, I’m used to seeing a simple switch that grays out the thing, but I’m not seeing it in Zapier.

Hi
There is no option to enable/disable a Zap step.
Often the output from 1 Zap step is used in a following Zap step, meaning there are data dependencies across Zap steps, so there could be cascading impacts if a Zap step was disabled.
You can either duplicate the Zap and delete the Zap steps.
Or another approach would be to use Paths, where you move Zap steps you want to disable into a Path that never runs based on the Path Filter step conditions.
Paths require a Zapier Pro+ plan.

For now I’m duplicating and deleting.
Appreciate your help!
