Temporarily pause specific workflows or actions in a policy without removing configuration
This guide explains how to disable individual workflows or actions within a Lifecycle Management policy. Disabling allows you to temporarily pause specific parts of a policy without deleting or modifying the underlying configuration.
Use this option when developing workflows to support:
Managing gradual rollouts: Enable actions one at a time to verify each step before activating the next
Troubleshooting issues: Isolate problematic actions without removing configuration
Implementing seasonal policies: Temporarily disable workflows that only apply during certain periods
Workflow Testing: Disable production actions while testing new workflow logic
Disabling a workflow prevents it from running during policy execution. All conditions and actions within the workflow are also skipped.
Go to Lifecycle Management > Policies.
Select a policy and click Edit Workflow.
Toggle the workflow's Enabled control to disabled.
Click Save.
The policy editor displays disabled workflows and actions with a "Disabled" tag.
You can also disable specific actions within a workflow without disabling the entire workflow. When you disable an action, any nested conditions and actions under the disabled action are also skipped, but other actions in the workflow continue to run normally.
Open the workflow editor.
Select the action you want to disable.
Toggle the Enabled control in the action settings.
Click Save.
Disabled workflows are evaluated by default during dry run simulations. This allows you to preview what would happen if you re-enabled a disabled workflow and validate trigger conditions and action configurations before making them active.
When you run a dry run simulation, the results show what actions would run if the workflow were enabled.
To re-enable a disabled workflow or action, toggle the Enabled control back to enabled and save.
