You can modify the modes and states available in a remote portlet to the extent that the states and modes are editable in the producer being consumed.
Before beginning these procedures, you should review the procedures outlined in Setting Portlet Modes and States.

The button for the selected mode will disappear from the title bar; for example, if you select Help, the Help button will no longer appear on the title bar.
