Active vs inactive searches

Pause a Search without losing your setup - deactivate to stop tracking and emails, then reactivate anytime to pick up right where you left off.

Need a break from updates? You don’t have to delete your Search — just deactivate it.

Deactivation pauses tracking and emails but keeps all your setup and filters saved for later.

What is an inactive Search?

An inactive Search:

  • Stops tracking new documents and data.
  • No longer sends email alerts or digests.
Keeps all settings and filters intact — nothing is lost.

You’ll find these under the Inactive Searches tab on the Search page.

How to deactivate a Search

  1. On the Active Searches tab, go to the eye icon.

  2. Select the eye icon to deactivate the search and make it inactive. 

Important to note:

The Search moves to the Inactive list and pauses all activity. Once a Search is deactivated, email digests and reporting stop until the Search is reactivated.

How to activate a Search

  1. Go to Inactive Searches.

  2. Find the Search you’d like to restart.

  3. Click the eye icon to re-activate the search.

If you have configured an alert for this search, tracking and emails will resume based on your last-saved settings.
