Deactivate a company

Deactivating a company hides it from your active database view. Additionally, this action guarantees that your data connectors will not update the information of the deactivated company, unless reactivated. Opting for deactivation over deletion of a company typically provides a more effective safeguard against automatic re-ingestion by Data Connectors with an enabled Sourcing mode (which auto-generates new Syfter companies based on external sources).

Deactivation maintains the company's record in the database, preventing its future automatic re-ingestion, offering a more robust solution than deletion. To deactivate a company, click on the ellipsis and choose 'Deactivate Company.' Upon successful deactivation, the page will refresh and prompt you to either return to the feed or reactivate the company.
