You can set a journal status as Active or Inactive anytime. An Inactive journal is not available in the app, and so you can use the Active and Inactive actions to show or hide the journal in the app, in specific cases.

Click on Journal in the sidebar.

 

The list of journals appears. 

Locate the target journal in the list.

In Action column, click on the three dots to see different actions.

 

Change to Active

If the status of a journal is Inactive, you can see the action as Set Active. Click on this action and the journal status changes.

 

Change to Inactive

If the status of a journal is Active, you can see the action as Set Inactive. Click on this action and the journal status changes.

 

The status updates in the list of journals too.

 

The Draft status

While adding a new journal, it is saved as an auto saved Draft if you do not save it manually. (Please see Add new journal for more details.)

The list shows its status as Draft—and you cannot see the options to change its status to Active or Inactive.

 

Click on Edit and save this journal first. The Add a journal article explains the steps for how to submit it first before the status options are available for such a journal.
