## Overview
When a person has been deactivated, their account is disabled and they can't sign in — but all their data is kept. Reactivating switches their account back to active so they can access your platform again. This is the counterpart to deactivating (see **How to deactivate a person**).

## How to reactivate a person
1. Go to **People** and open the profile of the deactivated person. Their status shows as **disabled**.
2. Click **Enable account**.
3. In the confirmation, click **Enable** to confirm.

The person's status returns to **active** and they can sign in again.

> **Tip:** By default the **People** list shows active people only. To find a deactivated person, change the status filter to show disabled (or all) people, or search for them by name.

## Things to keep in mind
* Reactivating restores access only — the person keeps all the data and history they had before.
* If a person was deactivated because their access expiry date passed, reactivating prompts you to set a new expiry date (or leave it clear for permanent access).
* You can't change your own status from this screen.

## FAQs
**Where has the deactivated person gone?**
The **People** list defaults to active people. Switch the status filter to disabled or all, or search by name, to see deactivated people.

**Will their learning history come back?**
Deactivating never removes data, so everything the person had is still there when you reactivate them.

**What if their access had expired?**
You'll be asked to set a new access expiry date when you reactivate. Clear the date if you want to give them permanent access.

## Who can do this
**Owners** and **Admins** can reactivate any person. **Managers** and **People Managers** can reactivate people who report to them. **Content Managers**, **Instructors**, **Employees** and **Restricted** users cannot reactivate other people.
