# NegativeKeywordUpdate.Status

Whether this negative keyword should be active after the update.

## Declaration

```data
string NegativeKeywordUpdate.Status
```

## Possible Values

ENABLED: The negative keyword is active and will suppress ad delivery for matching search queries. PAUSED: The negative keyword is paused and will not suppress any search queries until re-enabled.

## Discussion

Discussion Set this to PAUSED to temporarily allow traffic from the excluded term without deleting the negative keyword. Example {   "status": "PAUSED" } See NegativeKeywordStatus for additional context.
