If you select **Temporarily Closed**, it will give you the option to type a reason as to why you are closed so that your users will be informed.

When you click on **Save** button, this will save the update and you will see a red banner pop up that will indicate that your system is closed and remind you to read our documentation on how it impacts your users.&#x20;
