To temporarily stop monitoring a folder without removing it from your monitored folders list, simply tick the Disabled checkbox in the monitored folder settings.

Steps to disable monitoring:

Go to Manage > Monitored Folders, find the folder you want to stop monitoring, and click the Edit button (pencil icon). In the Edit Monitored Folder window, tick the Disabled checkbox at the bottom of the settings, then click OK to save your changes.

What happens when disabled:

When a monitored folder is disabled, PlayIt Live will stop scanning that folder for changes. No new files will be added, existing files won't be updated if modified, and files won't be deleted from the database if removed from the folder. All tracks that were previously imported from this folder will remain in your database unchanged.

Re-enabling monitoring:

To resume monitoring the folder, simply edit the monitored folder settings again and untick the Disabled checkbox. PlayIt Live will then resume scanning the folder and catch up with any changes that occurred while monitoring was disabled.

This is particularly useful when you need to perform maintenance on a network drive, temporarily move files, or pause monitoring during file organisation without losing your monitored folder configuration.
