# How do I close a Process and what happens to closed processes?

## Closing Live Processes is a good habit because it keeps your "Live Processes" section clear, so teams only see work that still needs attention. You can close processes in two ways: manually or automatically.

### Option 1: Close a process manually

1. Go to "**Live Processes**" view.
2. **Open the process you want to close.**
3. **Click the "**Actions**" button at the top the process.**
4. Click "**Close process".**

Please note that if all the tasks are not “Done”, the platform will ask for you to confirm that you would like to close the process. If all the task are completed, the modal will not be displayed and the process will close. 

### Option 2: Close processes automatically

You can set processes to close automatically once **all tasks are marked "Done" (or "Not required")**. This means no one has to remember to close them, which is helpful when many processes run at the same time.

**How to turn on automatic closing:**

1. Go to **Process Builder** and select your **Process Category**.
2. Find the process template you want to update and click "**Edit**".
3. Click the "**Settings**" button at the top of the process.
4. Turn on the "**Auto-close process when complete**" toggle.
5. Click "**Save**".

### What happens when a Live Process is closed?

When you close a process, it will be removed from the “Live Processes” section. **You can find a record of the closed process in the “Process Reports” section.** To access closed process, do the following:

1\. Go to “Process Reports”

2\. Find the process by scrolling or searching.

3\. Toggle the filters to find the closed Live Process you would like to review.

4\. Click “View Process” to view the closed Live Process.

From here, you can download or email a PDF of the complete activity history using the “Actions” drop down. You can also re-open the process if you have administrator access by clicking the “Re-open Process” link in the top orange notification band or in the "Actions" dropdown menu.

Please note that any Process Alerts that are associated to closed Live Processes are NOT removed from the “Process Alerts” section.

**And that’s it!** Now you can close process and access closed process reports.
