Disable activity in Azure Data factory pipeline without removing it

This builds on Martin Esteban Zurita's answer, if you need to prevent activities from the beginning or from within the middle of your pipeline running, without deleting them altogether:

You can temporarily change the order of the activities and make the ones you want to disable run at the end of the pipeline instead, (closing any gaps you may have created), then click the last activity you do want to run and click the breakpoint circle icon to prevent the "disabled" activities from running.

Then reinstate the order after testing/debugging.

You cannot disable one, but what you want to do is possible with the debug option in the editor. Just click on the red circle above any activity and run the debugger, it will run until that activity is complete and stop, allowing you to see the output of those prior to that.

Hope this helped!
