Is there a way to disable specific nodes for the purpose of testing? Essentially I want to test one path but I don’t want to delete the other, disconnected paths.

Hey @nrozman - Currently this is not possible although something that is on the roadmap. You can create a subflow though which would allow you to test selected nodes without running the entire flow.
