# Destinations

Destinations represent the exact locations on a target resource where data sent from File Analysis Suite is sent. You can associate one or more destinations with a target to define the exact locations on the target where the sent data stored.

Once created, a destination can be deactivated and then activated as needed. If you deactivate a destination while data is being sent to it, all data in progress is sent; no additional send actions can be performed once the destination is deactivated. Once deactivated, a destination cannot be edited and displays a gray icon next to the destination name. Only activated destinations can be selected when sending documents to a target.

Destinations can be deleted if no actions are currently being performed against it. Be aware that destinations with no pending actions are deleted automatically when you delete the associated target.

NOTE: When a Content Manager target is created, destinations are automatically created for each associated Content Manager origin and are deactivated by default. You must activate the desired destinations before you can send documents.

Content Manager destinations cannot be manually created in File Analysis Suite, nor can they be edited or deleted. Content Manager destinations are deleted if the associated target is deleted.

Updates made to source origins in Content Manager are picked up during periodic scans by File Analysis Suite and the Content Manager destinations are updated accordingly.
