Yes, you can activate or deactivate a Catalyst ConvoKraft bot temporarily, directly from the Catalyst console.

To take only some of the bot's abilities offline, you can deactivate individual actions instead: hover over the action's ellipsis icon and click **Deactivate**. A deactivated action is unavailable in the development environment, but stays available for chat in the production environment if you published it before deactivating. Refer to the [Manage an Action help page](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/convokraft/help/actions/manage-an-action/) for details.
