# Make Turn it Off active

Once you have completed the steps of [connecting a provider](/getting-started/providers.md), [adding an application](/getting-started/add-an-application.md), [defining your environment](/getting-started/add-an-environment.md) and attaching resources. You are now ready to activate Turn it Off on the particular environments in question.

Turn it Off will Start/Stop all resources within an environment. The way this is done is based on the management settings you select. We offer pre-defined and custom schedules, metric based rules and Intelligent mode, which allows you to auto-detect users and switch off environments when not in use (much like a smart thermostat) You can see how to change these Management setting in the [Managing automation ](/simple-management/managing-automation.md)section.

Once you are happy you will need to activate Turn it Off. This is as easy as navigating to the Environment Overview page for the individual environment and moving it from 'Paused' to 'Active' as seen below.
