<a name="post-launch-settings-source"></a>

Post-launch settings allow you to control and automate actions performed after a recovery instance has been launched for the source server in AWS. These settings are created automatically based on the **Default post-launch actions**.

**Activating the post-launch actions for a specific source server**:
+ Navigate to the **Source servers** page and select a source server.
+ Go to the **Post-launch settings** tab. If **Post launch action settings** has **Post launch actions** set to **Active**, click **Edit** for **Post launch action settings**.
+ You will be redirected to the **Edit post-launch settings** screen. Make sure the **Post-launch actions active** option is not checked and click **Save**.

 Alternatively, you can activate and deactivate post-launch actions for multiple servers by navigating to the **Source servers** page, selecting the servers you want to update and clicking **Actions > Edit post-launch action settings**. To activate, make sure the **Post-launch actions active** option is checked, and to deactivate, it should be unchecked. If you made a change, click **Save**.
