# Disabling/removing an editor

When an editor leaves your editorial board, it is recommended to just disable his profile:

This way:

- The user will still have access to his editing history.
- And most importantly can still finish the editorial process on pending articles where he/she is already assigned.

Note that disabling the profile as indicated will:

- disable most journal management rights for this editor
- the editor will no longer be assignable on new articles
