# How Do I Pause, Resume, or Delete a Source?

Use the three-dot menu on the source's row. Alongside **Re-sync**, **Rename**, and **Control Access**, it has:

* **Pause** — stops all syncing, including scheduled syncs. A sync that is running stops where it is. Everything already synced **stays searchable**; pausing only freezes updates, so new documents and permission changes stop flowing in.
* **Resume** — turns syncing back on. Run **Re-sync** afterwards to catch up immediately instead of waiting for the next scheduled sync.
* **Delete** — removes the source and everything synced from it. Its documents disappear from search and from any agents it was attached to. This cannot be undone; you can always add the source again, but it will re-estimate and re-index from scratch.

## Can I move a source to a different Brain?

There is no move action. To relocate a source (say, from your personal Brain to a team's), add it fresh in the target Brain and delete the old one. To let more people use an organization source without moving it, use **Control Access** to share it with more teams instead.

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Does pausing hide the source from search?">
    No. Paused sources keep serving what was already synced — results just get staler over time. Delete the source if you want its content gone.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I paused during a sync. Is the partial content searchable?">
    Yes. Whatever synced before the pause is searchable, and the rest is picked up after you resume and sync again.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens to agents using a deleted source?">
    The source is detached and agents simply stop finding its content. Other attached sources keep working.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Who can pause or delete a source?">
    Whoever can manage that source's Brain — see [Personal vs Team vs Organization Brain](/help/brain/personal-team-org-brain).
