# Disabling a Rule

You can disable an existing rule by changing the visibility.

To change the visibility, press the 'eye' icon in the top right. This will toggle it on or off.

Disabling a rule, will only disable the forward looking effects. Any rule evaluations which have happened in the past will remain, such as assigning a specific training to a learner.
