# Enabling & disabling a flow deployment (with virtual environments)

## Introduction

If [virtual environments](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/virtual-environments/about-virtual-environments) are enabled for your company profile, any given version of a process flow may be deployed and enabled in multiple environments. 

Conceptually, this is different to scenarios where [virtual environments are NOT enabled](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/process-flows/managing-process-flows/enabling-and-disabling-a-process-flow/enabling-and-disabling-a-process-flow-without-virtual-enviroments) - you enable/disable specific deployments of a process flow, rather than the flow itself. 

For instructions and full context, please refer to our [Virtual environments](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/virtual-environments/about-virtual-environments) section - specifically, [Disabling or enabling a process flow deployment for a virtual environment](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/virtual-environments/managing-virtual-environments-versions-and-flows/managing-virtual-environment-flow-deployments/disabling-or-enabling-a-process-flow-deployment-for-a-virtual-environment).
