# 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 %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.openloyalty.io/main-features/fortune-wheels/deactivating-fortune-wheels.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
