1

Open Site Settings

Go to Study > Setup > Site Settings.
2

Toggle the Setting

Select or clear Enable source data capture in this study.
3

Confirm

Select Enable or Disable in the confirmation dialog. Select Cancel to leave the setting unchanged.
Only study team members with permission to manage sites can change the setting. Other users see it with the checkbox disabled. Once the study is active, you must put it into amendment before you can change the setting. Archived studies cannot be changed. Disabling the setting stops site staff from starting new extractions. Suggestions that already exist stay available to review, and values already applied stay in the participant records. Every change is recorded in the study audit trail.
