# Enable or disable a trigger

Turn a files trigger off without deleting it, and on again.

**Where:** Files → Triggers → click a trigger → **Actions** → **Disable** / **Enable** · `/projects/<project>/files/triggers/<triggerId>/edit`

## Before you start

* The trigger exists — see [Create a trigger](/codemash/cloud/files/triggers/new.md). A new trigger starts **enabled**.

## Steps

1. Open the trigger and press **Actions**. On an enabled trigger the menu has **Disable**, **Delete trigger...** and **See documentation**.

2. Press **Disable**. Then the list shows the trigger with **Enabled: No**.

3. To turn it on again, open the trigger. The banner *Trigger is disabled, but you can still edit it.* is on top, and **Actions** has **Enable**. Press **Enable**.

## Result

A disabled trigger keeps all its settings but does not run: uploads and deletes pass it by. You can still edit it. After **Enable** it runs again from the next file.

## Change or remove it later

* **Edit** — [Edit a trigger](/codemash/cloud/files/triggers/edit.md).
* **Delete** — [Delete a trigger](/codemash/cloud/files/triggers/delete.md).

## Do it from code

```ts
await norbix.hub.files.disableFilesTrigger({ triggerId, triggerType: 'Files' });
await norbix.hub.files.enableFilesTrigger({ triggerId, triggerType: 'Files' });
```

```sh
norbix hub files trigger disable --triggerId trg_7ThVAcuyPV2TNuI0iwl7Qf --triggerType Files --yes
```

Pass the id as `--triggerId` (and `--triggerType Files`). The client setup is on the [Files page](/codemash/cloud/files.md#use-it-from-code).
