 However keep in mind that `core-js` is solely for ECMAScript and does not polyfill any browser features. Features like this will need to be manually polyfilled in projects with app-level imports.

 ## Build without Effects
 
-To accommodate devices with lower performance, the Enact CLI offers the `--no-animation` option. This option disables animations and graphical effects, including shadows. When activated, it sets the `ENACT_PACK_NO_ANIMATION` environment variable. This variable allows UI libraries like Sandstone to conditionally disable effects. Additionally, you can leverage this variable in your application to achieve the same outcome. Thus, you can develop an app devoid of these effects and do so without modifying your codebase.

 ## `install` vs `link`
 Due to the similar nature in these actions, it's worth some clarification. The `install` action pulls from a local or remote source, copying the template files to a user-storage location (`%APPDATA%\.enact` on Windows, `$HOME/.enact` on all other systems).  The `link` action, on the other hand, will create a symlink from a local source directory into the user-storage location.  No files are physically copied, only linked. As such, the local linked source directory should not be deleted and any changes made within it will be available the next time a template is used. It is generally only advisable to use the `link` action when actively developing templates.
