# Enable or disable events

Not every event is useful for every destination. Disabling an event stops it from being sent to that destination, without affecting anything else. You can re-enable it at any time.

### What you can do with it

* **Silence an event a destination doesn't need.** If a destination has no use for an event, switch it off so it stops arriving.
* **Cut noise at the destination.** Fewer events mean cleaner reports and fewer parameters to reconcile downstream.
* **Turn an event off for one destination only.** Disable it here and every other destination keeps receiving its own events as before.
* **Pause and resume.** Disable an event now, re-enable it later. Nothing else about the event changes while it's off.

### How to enable / disable events

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Open the event menu

In the destination's [Events tab](/event-editor/getting-started.md), click the **three-dot menu** at the right of the event row.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you disable a standard event, every custom event based on it is disabled too. This is a current limitation.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Disabling is all or nothing: the event is never sent, for anyone. If you want the event sent only in certain cases, you can [filter the event](/event-editor/trigger-conditions.md) instead.
