+## Enable/disable a source template

+You can enable or disable a source template to optimize your data flow management. Below are some of the key benefits of enabling or disabling the source template:
+
+- **Cost efficiency.** Proactively manage and reduce costs associated with excessive or unnecessary data ingestion.
+- **Compliance protection.** Safeguard your organization from compliance violations by preventing potential exposure of sensitive information in logs.
+- **Agility in response.** Quickly address misconfigurations or anomalies in your data sources without disrupting other crucial workflows.

+When you re-enable a disabled source template, the collection can either start from the very beginning of the file or from the moment when you re-enabled the source template. Collection starting from the beginning could lead to duplicate data while collecting data from the re-enabled moment can lead to data loss for the duration the source template was inactive.
+
+In the disabled state, only minor and patch versions will be auto-upgraded and you will be blocked from upgrading the source template with any major pending Source Schema version. It is recommended that you first enable the source template before manually upgrading it.
