# Publishing and unpublishing results

Records in MetaLocator include a "Published" state that allows our users to quickly enable and disable locations across all Interfaces. When a location is unpublished it will be effectively hidden across all public-facing MetaLocator components including Interfaces, APIs and add-ons.

## Unpublishing a single record

To manage the published state of a location, login to MetaLocator and under "All Records", first identify the location by searching for the record from the dashboard. Click the Published toggle as shown below:

## Managing the Published state in bulk imports

Provide a value in the Published column as a 1 or 0. The default value is 1. If the column is not provided in the import, the Published value does not change during the import.
