# Archive a campaign

> Archive a game campaign — locks, refunds, and auto-archive

There is no cancel button for a campaign. Deactivate the campaign to stop it permanently.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Deactivate the campaign">
    <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/live2-dev/images/developers/archive-campaign/deactivate.webp" alt="Confirm deactivation in the dialog" />

    Open your game in the dashboard, open its **Game Campaigns** page, and click **Deactivate** on the active campaign card. In the **Deactivate Campaign** dialog, review what happens to the remaining deposit, then click **Deactivate Campaign**. Deactivation is permanent — the campaign cannot be reactivated or edited, but you can create a new one for the same game.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Refunds and auto-archive

Deactivation is blocked while `scheduled` or `submitted` deals exist. Deactivating a funded campaign auto-refunds the remainder to your wallet; an unfunded one archives directly. Campaigns auto-archive when the end date passes or when all slots are filled with no in-progress deals.
