When pausing operations or reopening a refurbished property, review the guide’s state too. Publication pauses, operational pauses and archiving affect guest access and the property list differently. Choose what you need, save and check the link.

1. Decide what you want to pause

Decide whether you want to tidy the list, hide guidance from new visitors or pause operations entirely. Check current and upcoming reservations.

Consider whether guests who already received a link still need it. As the table shows, the actions have different effects on access.

2. Find the property using filters

Use Draft, Published, Private or Archived filters in Property management. Filters only change the list you see, not the property’s state.

For an actual status change, Pause guest publication hides the guide from new visitors while retaining booked-guest access. Pause operations and Archive prevent booked guests from viewing too; check reservations first.

3. Expand Property status and review the change

Expand Property status and select the action. Read the screen guidance, tick I have reviewed the changes and select Save changes.

Selecting alone does not apply it. Check the list’s status after saving. Use Publish / Resume operations to restart.

4. Republish after restoring an archived property

Archiving tidies the list without deleting reservations or records.

To use it again, find the archived property and restore it. It returns to Draft; review the content and publish before guests can view it.

5. Review before reopening

Check current appliances, photos, host details, contacts and rules. Review the pre-publication checklist and translations too.

Reopening the same property keeps its link. Copying it into a new property creates a different link. Open and check it before sharing.

6. External reservations and distributed files remain

Making stayV guidance private does not cancel Airbnb bookings or block that calendar. Manage reservations separately on the original platform.

Distributed PDFs and QR images also remain. Leave essential instructions in the booking conversation before pausing and recheck the online guide when reopening.
