# Deactivating Fortune Wheels

Because redemptions must remain auditable, full deletion is restricted.\
However, Fortune Wheels can be **deactivated** or **hidden**.

***

### Deactivating a Fortune Wheel

Deactivation makes the wheel unavailable to members while keeping it in the admin panel.

To deactivate:

1. Edit the wheel
2. Scroll to **Status**
3. Toggle **Active fortune wheel** off

Inactive wheels can be:

* Edited
* Duplicated
* Reviewed
* Reactivated at any time

***

### Alternative ways to remove access

If you prefer not to deactivate:

#### 1. Change availability

Set end date to a past date.

#### 2. Adjust visibility

Set visibility to “hidden”.

#### 3. Restrict targeting

Assign a different segment or tier.

***

### Canceling a redemption (optional)

From the redeemed wheel list, select:

* **Cancel redemption**

Cancelling a redemption does **not** automatically refund points or reverse rewards.\
Adjustments may need to be handled manually.
{% endhint %}
