# Mode Change

![There are 3 different action modes. (Active, Test, and Passive)](/files/PzKGXs9KKi5ogGHVtUSx)

### Test Mode

![You can switch the action from passive or active to test mode.](/files/uoM3OVqxVFGk1RuRSExW)

 If you want the action to work only for you, you need to switch the action mode to the test mode. When switched to test mode, the 'ytm\_test=true' filter is added to the action's execution filters. Afterwards, you can go to the correct link on the site and test it by adding the '?ytm\_test=true' parameter to the end of the link where the action should work. Since it won't work with a link that doesn't have '?ytm\_test=true', you can be sure that your users won't see it.

### Active Mode

By activating an action, you can open that action to all users.&#x20;

![Actions with an active status are currently live. If the settings are configured correctly, it will reflect on your users.](/files/e3WEiUnHDPtZ057ViauI)

### Passive Mode

&#x20;Actions are opened along with passive mode, so they are not active for testing or displaying to users. You can be sure that they are not shown to any users while in passive mode.&#x20;

![If you want to deactivate actions that are in Active or Test status, you should choose Passive from the options.](/files/IY31bXtEObVpr5JoJma3)
