Disabling a group turns off one test group in a multi-group experiment while the other groups keep running. Users assigned to the disabled group receive the default experience instead. Disable a group when one variant performs poorly or creates a bad user experience but the rest of the experiment is still valid. If the whole experiment is failing, [make a decision](https://docs.statsig.com/experiments/ending/make-decision) and ship control instead.

## What to expect when you disable a group

- Users already assigned to the disabled group receive the default experience.
- Statsig continues to assign new users to the disabled group, and those users also receive the default experience. Because assignment continues, the disabled group doesn't trigger a Sample Ratio Mismatch (SRM).
- Statsig continues to show the group, log its exposures, and calculate its experiment results, so you can verify that user experiences recover after you disable the group.

## Disable a group

1. Log into the [Statsig console](https://console.statsig.com) and select **Experiments** in the left-hand navigation panel.
2. Select the experiment where you want to disable a group.
3. Click the **...** menu in the top right corner.
4. Select **Disable A Group**.
5. Select the experiment groups you want to disable, then select **Confirm**.

## Reenable a group

To reenable a previously disabled group, click the **...** menu and select **Disable or Enable A Group**.

> **Info:**
>
> Users in a reenabled group may have received more than one treatment during the experiment, and the group's metric data may reflect those multiple experiences.
