# Turn a block on or off

> Disable a Block Hero block to hide it from your store without deleting its schedules, and enable it again later.

A Block Hero block is either **Enabled** or **Disabled**. New blocks start as **Enabled**.

When a block is **Disabled**, shoppers don't see it, whatever its schedules say. Its schedules and content are kept. In the theme editor, the block shows a message saying it's disabled, so you know why it's empty.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Theme sections can't be turned off this way. Their schedules always apply. To stop Block Hero changing a section, see [Disconnect a theme section](/docs/theme-sections/disconnect.md).

## From the Scheduler

**1. Open the block's menu**

Go to **Scheduler**. On the block's row, click the **...** menu on the right.

**2. Choose Disable block or Enable block**

Choose **Disable block** to turn it off, or **Enable block** to turn it back on. The change saves straight away.

Example data

## From the block's page

**1. Change Status**

Open the block. In the **Status** card on the right, choose **Disabled** or **Enabled**.

**2. Save**

Click **Save**.

The badge next to the block's name shows **Enabled** or **Disabled**.

> [!TIP]
>
> To hide one piece of content rather than the whole block, give it an end date, or on Image Banner and Media Banner blocks set its **Status** to **Inactive**. See [Statuses](/docs/scheduling/statuses.md).
