# Pause, duplicate or archive a campaign

Stop a Victoria AI campaign for now, copy it as a starting point, or archive it for good, and what each one keeps.

## Pause a campaign

Open **Campaigns → your campaign** and turn off the switch at the top. The status changes to **Paused**.

While a campaign is paused:

- no sequence steps go out, including to leads mid-sequence;
- the Appointment Setter sends no follow-up nudges on its conversations;
- leads keep their place and pick up where they were when you resume.

Pausing never runs the readiness check. A step that was already being sent when you paused is checked again just before it goes out, so it won't send.

## Resume a paused campaign

Turn the switch back on. The readiness check runs again, and the campaign resumes once it passes. See [Preflight checks](https://docs.versionseven.ai/help/preflight-checks).

## Duplicate a campaign

Open **Campaigns → your campaign**, select the **⋯** (**Campaign actions**) menu, then **Duplicate**. The copy opens straight away, named "_original name_ (Copy)", paused.

The copy keeps:

- the sequence, including Variation B and the traffic split;
- AI Personalization fields;
- work hours and daily limits;
- Appointment Setter settings and the response webhook.

The copy doesn't include leads or sender accounts. Add leads and assign senders before you activate it. A sender can only send for one active campaign at a time, so pause the original if the copy uses the same accounts.

## Archive a campaign

Open **Campaigns → your campaign → ⋯ → Archive** and confirm. Archiving:

- stops all outreach and marks every lead in the campaign complete;
- removes the campaign from the **Campaigns** list;
- keeps its historical data.

Archiving can't be undone in the app. If you might want the campaign back, pause it instead.

## Pause or archive: which to use

- **Pause** to stop for a while and resume later with leads in place.
- **Duplicate** to reuse a working setup for a new audience, or to restructure a running sequence without shifting its leads.
- **Archive** when the campaign is finished and you won't send from it again.
