# Disable Agents

> Disable agents to archive them without deleting, and re-enable them at any time.

<Info>
  Agent management features are available to workspace administrators.
</Info>

Disabling an agent archives it without permanently deleting it. Disabled agents are hidden from users but can be re-enabled at any time.

## When to Disable vs Delete

| Action      | Use When                                                                                                                                                  |
| ----------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Disable** | You want to temporarily remove an agent from use, the agent may be needed again in the future, you want to preserve the agent's configuration and history |
| **Delete**  | The agent is no longer needed at all, you want to permanently remove all associated data, the agent was created in error                                  |

<Warning>
  Deleting an agent is permanent and cannot be undone. Disable agents first if you're unsure whether they'll be needed in the future.
