## Pause, resume and delete [#pause-resume-and-delete]

* **Pause** refuses every further push into the datasource. Its documents stay
  searchable. A push already being written when you pause completes.
* **Resume** accepts pushes again.
* **Delete** removes the datasource and every document pushed to it, with
  their search index. Your own system keeps its copy, so pushing again after
  you recreate the datasource restores them. A delete cannot be undone.

If another admin changed the datasource after your list loaded, the action is
refused and the list reloads, so you decide again against what is there now.
Every create, pause, resume and delete is recorded in the workspace audit log.

  The settings list shows who each datasource is visible to. Who can read a
  pushed document is decided by the `permissions` sent with it; creating,
  pausing or deleting a datasource never widens access to anything.

  Push writes are idempotent: repeat the same `Idempotency-Key` on every retry of
  one write, and a duplicate is answered from the first attempt instead of being
  applied twice. See [Errors and rate limits](/docs/guides/errors-and-rate-limits).
