# Enable or disable events

Turn an event off or back on for one destination in the Littledata Event Editor.

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 or disable events

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Open the event menu**

In the destination's [Event Editor](https://help.littledata.io/event-editor/getting-started), click the **⋯** menu at the right of the event row.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Change the status**

Select **Enable** or **Disable**.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Confirm**

If you're disabling an event, a confirmation window opens. Click **Disable** to confirm. Enabling happens straight away, with no confirmation.

The change is saved immediately and a message confirms it: **Event enabled** or **Event disabled**. There's nothing else to save.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

You can also do this from the event's edit page: click **More** and choose **Disable** or **Enable**.

{% hint style="info" %}
Disabling a standard event doesn't disable the custom events based on it. Each custom event has its own status, so disable it separately if you want it to stop too.
{% 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](https://help.littledata.io/event-editor/trigger-conditions) instead.
{% endhint %}
