# Pause Performance Campaign Applications

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 ![](https://4048883401-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FwMLlMoFBtKJa8ptd3zaw%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-230534471fef5f40808e921e41ee44e4a06ded03%2Fe6cb9548999afdc1ed3ce4942e4cb5b45b5cecbd323267aac2a7cd1915fccc09.svg?alt=media) **\[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 ![](https://4048883401-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FwMLlMoFBtKJa8ptd3zaw%2Fuploads%2FNVJihd9nYKCiCEg5tI6i%2F2a92939e8e78dd7e0c0416b1a250d5ef1d7ab0dec966fb5ed320ca62acfc06c5.svg?alt=media\&token=7cab8ce5-a26b-4057-a822-0746130d9117) **\[More]** → **Pause New Applications**.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.impact.com/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/performance-program/beta-performance-campaigns/manage-a-performance-campaign/pause-performance-campaign-applications.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
