# Stop Deka Notebook Service

The **Stop Notebook** feature is available in Deka Notebook within the Service Portal Cloudeka and is used to stop a running notebook service to help optimize resource usage when the notebook is no longer in use.

On the Deka Notebook page, select the notebook you want to stop, then click the **Stop** button.

{% hint style="success" %}
This feature can only be used when the notebook status is **Running**, as indicated by the **RUNNING** label displayed on the notebook.
{% endhint %}

After the **Stop** button is clicked, the system will display a notebook stop confirmation window. Click the **Yes** button to proceed with the notebook stop process.

If the notebook stop process is successful, the system will display the notification **“Deka Notebook has been successfully stopped.”** In addition, the notebook status will change to **Pending** to indicate that the notebook stop process is in progress.
