# Starting and stopping an ingestion


{% note info %}

This feature is in the [Preview](../../../overview/concepts/launch-stages.md) stage.

{% endnote %}


Ingestions start automatically as per the schedule you set up when [creating](create-ingestion.md) or [updating](update-ingestion.md) them. You can start or stop an ingestion if its schedule is set to **Manually**.
