Introduction

This page outlines how to stop builds for a project on CircleCI.

Stop building a project

The Stop Building option does not automatically remove all project data from the CircleCI databases. To remove all project data from CircleCI, see the Delete a project documentation.

This feature is supported for orgs that use OAuth authentication.

Check your Organization slug at Organization settings  Overview. OAuth authenticated orgs are structured as follows:

  • github/<your-org-name> or gh/<your-org-name>

  • bitbucket/<your-org-name> or bb/<your-org-name>

This feature is not supported if your organization slug is in the following format:

  • circleci/<UID>.

For an overview of feature support, see the VCS integration overview page.

If you are using the GitHub OAuth App or Bitbucket Cloud, to stop building one of your projects on CircleCI, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Project Settings page in the CircleCI web app for the project you want to stop.

  2. Scroll to the bottom of the Overview page and select Stop Building. You will need to reconfirm your choice in the popup.

If you want to start building this project again, just go to the Projects page in the web app and select Set Up Project and follow the set up steps.
