# Deactivate a data source

You can deactivate a data source so that you can maintain the present data in the workspace, but stop future data from being acquired.

## Considerations

- Deactivating a data source does not remove the existing data from a workspace. A deactivated data source does not capture any new data into the workspace.

- Once you deactivate a data source, the action cannot be undone.

- Data sources associated with a closed workspace cannot be deactivated.

- After deactivating a data source, you will not be able to edit data source details.

- After you deactivate a data source, it is no longer displayed on the DATA SOURCES tab of the workspace artifacts panel on the workspace Overview page.

  The Data Source page displays inactive data sources. To view only deactivated data sources in the data sources list, select the Inactive filter on the Data Source page.

- If a deactivated data source contains zero documents, it is not shown on the document list.

To deactivate a data source

1. On the workspace Overview page, click the DATA SOURCES tab of the workspace artifacts panel and then click MANAGE DATA SOURCES.

2. On the Data Sources page, click or hover over the row for the desired data source and then click the deactivate icon ().

   TIP: You can also click in the row for the desired data source, open the detail panel (), and then click DEACTIVATE.

3. In the confirmation dialog, click DEACTIVATE to confirm the action.

   The data source is deactivated.
