title: Turn off the Community History Service
---
:::info
Currently, you can only configure the Community History Service using Status desktop.
:::
You may want to turn off the [Community History Service](./about-the-community-history-service.md) to [protect community members' IP addresses](./about-the-community-history-service#how-chs-works.md) or when your computer runs out of storage space.
## What to expect
- Your community members can't receive messages that are older than 30 days.
- Your community members can no longer download the existing archives for historical messages.
## Turn off the Community History Service
=== "Desktop"
1. From the navigation sidebar, click your community.
1. On top of the channel sidebar, click your community logo, then expand the window and click **Edit Community**.
