How do I pause signature updates?

There may be times that you need to stop Exclaimer Signature Manager Outlook Edition from processing policies. To do this, you can use options on the Signature Manager Outlook Edition settings tab:

When this option is de-selected, all signature, campaign and disclaimer policies will be disabled. In this case, Exclaimer Signature Manager Outlook Edition still runs but it will not find any policies to process.

The pause option

An alternative approach is to pause updates. In this case, you can choose to pause the ExSync agent so that policy / settings updates are no longer pulled from the deployment share to users' computers. This is particularly useful (for example) if you are performing maintenance tasks on the server and wish to prevent errors being reported during this time. The pause option is available from the settings tab on each signature deployment policy - for example:

Many organizations will only have one signature deployment policy however, if there are multiple  signature deployment policies, you can pause as many as required.
