# Deactivate locations

You can deactivate DOOH for specific locations, for example, if a specific location requires repair or renovation work, or if you don't want to use it for DOOH content in general.

- You can deactivate a location from a specific date on or for a specific from-to time frame.
- If you don't specify an end date, DOOH is deactivated for 365 days by default.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> When DOOH is deactivated, players cannot run booking items, meaning there will be no playout.
