# Manage AppSail

### Disable an App

You can temporarily disable an AppSail service, if required. When an app is disabled, it cannot be invoked through its development or production [deployment URL](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/serverless/help/appsail/key-concepts/appsail-execution/#custom-domain-url) until you enable it again.

> **Note:** You can still create or modify configurations for the app, or deploy changes from your local environment even when the app is disabled.

To disable an app in AppSail:

1. Click the ellipsis icon for an app from the AppSail index page, then click **Disable**.

2. Enter "DISABLE" in the pop-up to confirm, then click **Confirm**.

This will change the status of the app to "Inactive" in the index page. 

#### Enable the App 

You can enable a disabled app again by navigating to the index page. 

1. Click the ellipsis icon, and then click **Enable**.

### Delete an App

You can permanently delete an AppSail app from the remote console. This will remove the app from being hosted in AppSail. 

To delete an app in AppSail:

1. Navigate to the AppSail's index page. Then, click the ellipsis icon for the app, and click **Delete**.

2. Enter "DELETE" in the pop-up to confirm, then click **Confirm**.

![appsail-delete-2](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/help/appsail/appsail-delete-2.webp)

You will need to deploy the app again after it is deleted, if you require it.

### Download an App's Code

Catalyst enables you to download the source code of a deployed AppSail service from the console to your local system for **Catalyst-managed runtime apps only**. This will download a ZIP file of the entire directory that was deployed to the console, which includes the application files and any configuration files that were bundled and uploaded. This is not available for a custom runtime app.

You can download an AppSail app's source code by clicking the ellipsis icon of an app from the AppSail index page, then clicking **Download**.
