As your dairy completes OvSynch tasks, you'll want to track progress and verify compliance to your active protocols. You also have the option of setting daily alerts on your protocol tasks. Follow the steps below to monitor the progress of OvSynch tasks or use alerts to help you stay on track:

### Manually deactivate (or reactivate) a protocol

If you determine an animal needs to be removed from the OvSynch protocol, click the **Active **Protocol** for this animal** toggle to cancel active protocol tasks and then click **Deactivate Tasks** to confirm.

### Add a disenrolling event

If you add a disenrolling event for the protocol, the animal’s protocol tasks are automatically deactivated. If you later delete the disenrolling event, you have the option to reactivate the protocol.

**IMPORTANT: **If the animal has missed required protocol tasks or some tasks were already completed, you will not be able to reactivate the protocol. The animal can be added at the next scheduled enrollment. See [Schedule Automatic Enrollment](docId\:g9dbccytkFzdT2YIhrdpa) to learn more about scheduling your OvSynch enrollment.
