# How do I mark a warehouse as active/inactive?

If a warehouse is temporarily not in use, you can change it’s status to **Inactive**.

**Pro Tip:** When you deactivate a warehouse, the warehouse stock will also be frozen and cannot be used in transactions. Before doing so, it is recommended that you [transfer its stock](/inventory/help/warehouses/transfer-orders.html) to an active warehouse.

To deactivate a warehouse:

*   Go to **Settings** > **Warehouses**.
*   Click the **Gear** icon dropdown button next to the warehouse of your choice.

*   Select **Mark as Inactive**.

The warehouse will now be marked as _Inactive_ and won’t be available for use in transactions.

**Pro Tip:** To deactivate the current primary warehouse, you must first designate another warehouse as [primary warehouse](/us/inventory/kb/warehouses/warehouse-active-inactive.html#mark-as-primary) and follow the steps mentioned above.

To reactivate a warehouse:

*   Click the **Gear** icon dropdown button next to the inactive warehouse.
*   Select **Mark as Active**.

The warehouse will now be active and available for transactions.
