# Pause or resume a schedule in Arc

Stop a schedule from running for a while without deleting it, and turn it back on when you need it again.

## Before you begin

You have at least one schedule. For more information, see [Create and manage scheduled tasks in Arc](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/application-development/create-scheduled-tasks.md).

Role required: sn\_app\_arc.user

## About this task

Pausing keeps the schedule and its details. To remove a schedule for good, delete it instead.

## Procedure

1.  In Arc, select **Schedules** in the sidebar.

    Each schedule appears as a card that shows its name, instruction, how often it runs, and its next and last run.

2.  On the schedule's card, turn off the toggle.

    The schedule is paused and doesn't run.

3.  To resume the schedule, turn on the toggle.
