What does Deactivate Index do in the system?

• A. Deactivates the index and removes it from the search-with menu in the Documents tab, but not from the database.
• B. Deletes the index from the database.
• C. Swaps the index with a replacement index.
• D. Shows document errors.

Answer: (A)

Deactivate the index is a way to turn off its use without removing it from storage. When you deactivate, the index disappears from the search-with menu in the Documents tab, so it won’t be offered as a search option, but the actual index data stays in the database. This lets you slow down or stop its influence on results while keeping the index intact for possible reactivation later or for reference. It’s useful when an index is outdated or causing issues but you don’t want to lose the data or rebuild everything from scratch. Other options would delete the index entirely, replace it with something else, or focus on error reporting, none of which describe simply disabling it for searches.
