# Pause, resume, or cancel a campaign

> Control a running campaign at any time.

Campaigns are not fire-and-forget. You can pause, resume, or cancel any campaign that is in progress.

## Pause

* Stops sending immediately.
* Recipients already messaged are unaffected.
* Use when you spot an issue and need a moment to investigate.

## Resume

* Continues sending from where the campaign paused.
* Use after fixing whatever caused the pause.

## Cancel

* Stops the campaign permanently.
* Pending recipients are not messaged.
* Use when you do not want to continue at all.
