## Enabling and Disabling Watchpoints

In the Breakpoints view use the checkboxes that appear next to a watchpoint to enable or disable that watchpoint. When enabled, if the value in the watchpoint location changes per the read/write condition, then program execution is suspended. If the watchpoint is disabled and the value changes, no action is taken by the debugger.

#### Enabling Watchpoints

In the Breakpoints view, locate the watchpoint to enable and:

- Click the checkbox next to the watchpoint in the Breakpoints view list

A checkmark in the checkbox () next to the watchpoint indicates the watchpoint is enabled.

#### Disabling Watchpoints

In the Breakpoints view, locate the watchpoint to disable and:

- Click the checkbox next to the watchpoint in the Breakpoints view list

An empty checkbox () next to the watchpoint indicates the watchpoint is disabled.

See Saving and importing breakpoints for information on storing breakpoint and watchpoint data sets for sharing or re-use.
