A contraction of is not, used to make the sentence negative in the Present Simple tense.

--explanation--

In the Present Simple tense, the negative form is created using doesn't or isn't for third-person singular subjects (he, she, it).

  • Use doesn't with action verbs to show that something is not happening, like It doesn't work.

  • Use isn't with forms of to be to show that something is not true, like isn't set up.

In this sentence, you'll need both doesn't and isn't to correctly describe why the feature isn't working as expected.
