# Enable and Disable Flow Instances

To enable or disable a specific [Flow Instance](/reference/workspace-elements/flows), patch its `enabled` property:

```javascript theme={null}
await membrane.flowInstance(parameters.FLOW_INSTANCE_ID).patch({ enabled: true })
```

Flow Instances are enabled by default but you can create a disabled flow instances using the `enabled` field e.g

```
await membrane
.flowInstances.create({
  enabled: false
})
```
