❄️ What Does a Frozen Project Mean?

A project in Search Atlas can become frozen for a number of reasons. While a project is frozen, tracking and data collection are paused. Unfreezing it restores full functionality.

🗺️ How to Unfreeze a Project

Follow these steps to unfreeze a frozen project:

  1. Log in to Search Atlas and navigate to your Project List from the left-hand sidebar or the main dashboard.
  2. Locate the frozen project — it will display a frozen or paused indicator next to the project name.
  3. Look for the options available on the frozen project's row and select the unfreeze or reactivate action.
  4. Confirm the action if prompted. The project should return to an active state.

✅ How to Confirm the Project Is Unfrozen

After unfreezing, check the following to make sure the project is active again:

  • The frozen or paused indicator is no longer visible next to the project name.
  • Clicking into the project shows live data and active tracking.
  • Sub-tools within the project are accessible without any restriction messages.

🔄 Still Cannot Unfreeze the Project?

If you are unable to unfreeze a project on your own, please have the following ready before reaching out to support:

  • The name of the frozen project
  • Your Search Atlas account email
  • Any error or restriction message you are seeing
