#### Overview

Deactivation temporarily turns off a module while keeping its core data and configuration intact.  
It’s useful if you want to pause a module without uninstalling it.

##### Steps to Deactivate a Module

1. Go to **Dashboard → Modules**.
2. Locate the active module (marked as **ACTIVE**).
3. Click the **red cross (❌)** button to deactivate it.
4. The system executes the `Deactivate` function, which:
    
    
    - Stops the module’s background tasks and integrations.
    - Removes temporary tables and runtime data.
    - Keeps the configuration in place for future reactivation.

##### Note

Deactivation does **not** delete the module from the system — it simply disables its functionality until reactivated.

##### Result

The module becomes **INACTIVE** but can be reactivated anytime with the green arrow button.
