# Pause, resume, stop everything

> Pause or stop one campaign, halt every call in your workspace with the emergency stop, and archive what is finished.

You can stop calls at three levels: one call, one campaign, or every campaign in your workspace. Each control leaves the results in place. Nothing is deleted.

> [!WARNING]
>
> A call already connected is never cut off by a pause or by the emergency stop. It finishes. To cut one call off, use **End** in [live monitoring](https://docs.deepblocker.ai/vishing/live.md).

## Before you start

* The Member role or above.
* The **Campaigns** page open. Pause and stop for one campaign live there, under **Running now**.

## Steps

**1. Pause one campaign**

Under **Running now**, each running campaign has a pause button (the two bars). Click it. You see **Campaign paused** and the status becomes **Paused**. No new calls are placed. Calls in progress finish.

To carry on, click the play button on the same card. You see **Campaign resumed**. The campaign picks up where it left off.

**2. Stop one campaign**

On the same card, click the red stop button. A prompt reads: **Stop this campaign? Calls already in progress will continue.** Confirm. You see **Campaign stopped** and the status becomes **Completed**. People not yet reached are not called.

Later, the campaign page offers **Run again** to call everyone from scratch. See [Campaign statuses](https://docs.deepblocker.ai/vishing/statuses.md).

**3. Stop every call in your workspace**

At the top of the **Campaigns** page, click **Stop all calls**. You see **Emergency stop: all red-team calls halted**. A red banner appears on the Campaigns page and on every campaign page: **Emergency stop is on. No new red-team calls will be placed for your workspace. Calls already in progress will finish.**

Every running campaign stays in its current status but places no new calls. The switch covers your workspace only. Nobody outside it is affected.

To lift it, click **Resume calling** in the banner or in the header. You see **Calling resumed**. Then launch or re-run the campaigns you want to continue.

**4. Archive a finished campaign**

On a campaign page, click **Archive**. The campaign leaves the main list and sits under the **Archived** chip on the Campaigns page. Every result and version is kept. **Unarchive** brings it back.

**Archive** is not offered while a campaign is **Scheduled**, **In Progress** or **Paused**.

## What each control does

| Control | Where | New calls | Calls in progress | Status after |
| - | - | - | - | - |
| Pause | **Running now** card | Stop | Finish | **Paused** |
| Resume after pause | **Running now** card | Continue | | **In Progress** |
| Stop | **Running now** card | Stop for good | Finish | **Completed** |
| **Stop all calls** | **Campaigns** page header | Stop for every campaign | Finish | Unchanged |
| **End** | Live monitoring row | Unaffected | That one call is cut off | Unchanged |
| **Archive** | Campaign page | Not offered while running | | Unchanged, hidden under **Archived** |

## What happens next

Every pause, resume and stop is logged against the campaign with who did it. After the emergency stop is lifted, a paused campaign still needs its play button, and a stopped campaign needs **Run again** or **Resume** on its page.

## Problems

> [accordion] I lifted the emergency stop and nothing is calling
>
> Lifting it does not relaunch anything. Open each campaign and press **Resume** or **Run again**, or press play on a paused card.

> [accordion] Resume is refused
>
> The campaign is blocked because a cloned voice's consent was withdrawn. The page shows **This campaign is blocked** with the reason. Pick another attacker or voice first.

> [accordion] I cannot see the pause button
>
> It only shows under **Running now** while the status is **In Progress**. A scheduled campaign that has not started has nothing to pause.

> [accordion] Archive is missing on the campaign page
>
> The campaign is scheduled, running or paused. Stop it first, or wait for it to finish.
