{% ifversion ghec %}You can disable a webhook that was previously enabled for a repository, organization, {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %}, {% data variables.product.prodname_marketplace %} account, {% data variables.product.prodname_sponsors %} account, or {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %}.{% endif %}

{% ifversion ghes or ghae %}You can disable a webhook that was previously enabled for a repository, organization, {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %}, or {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %}.{% endif %}

To disable a webhook, you can choose to deactivate or delete it. When you deactivate a webhook, the webhook deliveries will stop, and you can choose to reactivate the webhook at a later time. When you delete a webhook, it cannot be restored.
