# Snooze an Alert

> Super Counselors and Super Users can snooze a Beacon alert to pause future alerts for a specific URL, domain, or search phrase.

Snoozing a GoGuardian Beacon alert pauses future alerts for a specific URL, domain, or search phrase. You can target the snooze to an individual student or all students in a deployment, and set a time frame for how long the snooze remains active.

<Warning>
  Snoozing an alert stops future notifications for the snoozed content. Other staff members will not receive alerts for the snoozed URL, domain, or search phrase during the snooze period.
</Warning>

<Note>
  The Snooze feature is available on Beacon Core and Beacon 24/7. It is not available on Beacon Starter. Grouped alerts cannot be snoozed.

  Only Super Counselors and Super Users can snooze alerts.
</Note>

## Snooze by URL

1. Select the alert card you want to snooze.

2. Click **Snooze Alert** in the top right corner of the alert card.

3. Confirm that the URL or search term shown is the content you want to snooze.

4. Choose one of the following:
   * **Individual Student**
   * **All students within the deployment**

5. Choose how long the snooze should remain active:
   * **Indefinitely** (not available for Active Planning alerts)

   * **1 Day**

6. Enter any additional context about the alert, if needed.

## Snooze by Domain

Snoozing a domain pauses alerts for all pages and content under that domain. This option is appropriate for known, trusted educational or instructional sites.

<Note>
  Major domains such as google.com and Google tools such as docs.google.com cannot be snoozed. Individual Google Doc links can be snoozed.
</Note>

Follow the same steps as snoozing by URL. When the snooze dialog opens, the domain will be shown in place of the individual URL.
