# Pause Performance Campaign Applications

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:** This functionality is in beta. Contact your CSM or our [support team](https://app.impact.com/secure/advertiser/support/customer-support-portal-flow.ihtml) if you'd like to test this feature.
{% endhint %}

When you pause campaign applications, new partners won't be able to apply to a campaign during the paused period. Pausing applications is useful when you receive an influx of applications and need time to review them.

Only the following partners can still proceed with their applications when a campaign is paused:

* Partners who have been invited can still accept or negotiate campaign invites.
* Partners who have already applied or are in negotiation can view and edit their proposals.
* Partners who have already applied or are in negotiation can still be hired if a campaign is paused.

1. From the left navigation bar, select ![](/files/CDnwOBeIdds9r3Z6zTnO) **\[Engage] →** **Campaign Manager →** [**Performance**](https://app.impact.com/secure/advertiser/engage/campaigns/performance-campaign-manager-flow.ihtml).
2. From the *Campaign Manager* screen, hover over the campaign for which you want to pause applications, then select **Manage Campaign**.
3. In the upper-right corner, select ![](/files/rBkxBrqMl1l5VXLGwaXU) **\[More]** → **Pause New Applications**.
   * You'll see a ![](/files/Tzj2BHcz6sAOPgOkEfb8) **\[Pause]** icon next to your campaign name.
   * You can repeat the steps and select **Resume New Applications** if you want to continue receiving new applications.
