# Managing automations

> Switch automations on and off, edit them, open their log and delete them.

Everything you do with an existing automation starts from its row on **Workflow › Automation**.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Required permission:
>
> * View automation
> * Edit automation, Delete automation

## Switching an automation on or off

![Automation list](https://mintcdn.com/mile-app/JlYib2YfcGFk65pR/images/v4/workflow/automation/automation-list.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=JlYib2YfcGFk65pR\&q=85\&s=fed978e2d8085822936ee787becb757b)

The **Active** switch (6) on each row decides whether the automation runs:

* **On (blue)**: the automation runs whenever its event happens.
* **Off (grey)**: the automation is never triggered and its action never runs.

Click the switch to change it. Switch an automation off to pause it without losing its settings.

## The row menu

Click **⋯** (7) at the end of a row:

* **Edit**: open the automation to view or change it.
* **Log**: open the [automation log](https://docsy3.mile.app/pages/workflow/automation/log.md) on its own page.
* **Delete**: delete the automation.

## Viewing and editing

Click **Edit**. The **Edit automation** form opens with the same fields as when it was [created](https://docsy3.mile.app/pages/workflow/automation/creating-an-automation.md). You can change the name, the flow (or data type, or geofence group), the rules and the automation detail, then click **Submit**.

> [!WARNING]
>
> **Event** and **Automation Type** are locked when editing. To use a different event or automation type, create a new automation instead.

## Deleting

Click **Delete**, then confirm **Delete this automation?** ("... will be removed permanently."). The automation's log is deleted with it, so download any log entries you want to keep first.
