If you no longer want an automation to run, you can archive it. Archiving removes the automation from your Active list and stops it from triggering while keeping it saved in your workspace for future reference.
Important: Zorcha does not currently support permanently deleting automations. Automations can only be archived.
How to Archive an Automation
Go to Automations from the left-hand sidebar.
Find the automation you want to stop.
Click the three-dot menu (⋮) next to the automation.
Select Archive.
The automation will immediately stop running and move from the Active section to the Archived section.
