# Disable a skill

> Disable a skill for the whole space: the AI stops loading it for everyone (users can still re-enable it for themselves in the nuwacom app). The skill and its files stay untouched — use this instead of deleting when you want to switch a skill off temporarily. Re-activate it via [Enable a skill](/api-reference/skills/enable-a-skill).
