# Activating and expiring

> Start a campaign now, or stop it without losing its configuration.

The toggle on each row of the [campaign list](https://codebeans-discount-engine-pro.mintlify.site/managing/campaign-list.md) starts or stops a campaign. Because a campaign's status comes from its dates, the toggle changes the dates and asks you to confirm first.

## Expire an active campaign

Turning the toggle off opens **Expire Campaign**. Click **Expire Now** to set the end date to the current date and time.

The campaign stops applying at checkout, and its offer is removed from your product pages straight away.

## Activate a scheduled campaign

Turning on a **Scheduled** campaign opens **Activate Scheduled Campaign**, which shows the planned start and end dates. Click **Activate Now** to move the start date to now. The end date is kept.

## Reactivate an expired campaign

Turning on an **Expired** campaign opens **Reactivate Expired Campaign**. Click **Activate Now** to set the start date to now and remove the end date, so the campaign runs until you expire it again.

> [!TIP]
>
> To stop a discount for a while, expire it rather than deleting it. Its configuration is kept, and you can reactivate it later.
