# Deactivate Building Blocks
You can use *Deactivate* option when you right-click on the selected building blocks. Your TaskBot will then skip the deactivated blocks when it runs.
You can activate the building blocks at any time by right-clicking on *Activate*.
To activate or deactivate multiple building blocks at the same time, click **Shift** and drag with the mouse, followed by right-clicking. To select multiple individual building blocks, click **CMD** (Mac) or **Ctrl** (Windows) + mouse click.
After deactivating, the building blocks will be marked grey.
### Skip Entire Sequences
By disconnecting a chunk of the workflow and deactivating its **first** building block, you can skip entire sections of your workflow.
### Skip Loop
By deactivating *Start Repeat* block, you can skip the entire loop sequence. The TaskBot will directly continue along the path after the *After Repeat* building block.
### Skip Try-Catch
By deactivating *Start Try-Catch* block, you can skip the entire sequence of building blocks inside the try-catch scope. The TaskBot will directly continue along the path after the *After Try-Catch* building block.
### Special Case: Conditional Paths
If you deactivated a conditional building block and its conditions (as shown below), your TaskBot cannot know which path to continue. In this scenario, the next building block will be picked **randomly.**
