# Disable a multi-agent collaboration
<a name="disable-multi-agents-collaboration"></a>

You can disable multi-agent collaboration at any time. Before you disable multi-agent collaboration, make sure that you've [disassociated all collaborator agents](disassociate-collaborator-agent.md) that are associated with the supervisor agent.

You can disable multi-agent collaboration in the Amazon Bedrock console, using the APIs, using the AWS CLI, or by using the AWS SDK. To learn how to create a multi-agent collaboration, choose the tab for your preferred method, and then follow the steps:.

#### [ Console ]

**To disable multi-agent collaboration,**

1. If you're not already in the agent builder, do the following:

   1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console with an IAM identity that has permissions to use the Amazon Bedrock console. Then, open the Amazon Bedrock console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/bedrock](https://console.aws.amazon.com/bedrock).

   1. Select **Agents** from the left navigation pane. Then, choose an agent in the **Agents** section.

   1. Choose **Edit in Agent builder**.

1. In the **Agent builder**, scroll down to the **Multi-agent collaboration** section and choose **Edit**.

1. In the **Multi-agent collaboration** page, in the **Collaboration status** section, turn off **Multi-agent collaboration**. This agent is no longer associated with any other agents. You can continue to use this agent as a stand-alone agent.

1. After you've finished disabling multi-agent collaboration, choose **Save** and then **Prepare** to test your updated agent configurations. To learn how to test your updated agent configurations, see [Test and troubleshoot agent behavior](agents-test.md).

1. To return to the **Agent Details** page, choose **Save and exit**.

Include the `agentId` in the request. The changes apply to the `DRAFT` version, which the `TSTALIASID` alias points to.

****  

| Field | Use case |
