# Express Query Tools

> Manage exports, filters, and joins faster in embedded query builder contexts.

In express and embedded query builders, including subqueries and the query builders used in rules and form conditions, you’ll now find controls to rename exports or temporarily activate and deactivate query parts.

## Activate or deactivate query parts

1. Open the express query, subquery, or embedded query builder where the query parts are configured.
2. Select the **Deactivate** icon on an active query part, or select **Activate** on an inactive query part.
3. To update multiple query parts, hold **Ctrl** (Windows) or **Command** (Mac) and select the relevant exports, filters, sorts, or joins of the same kind. To select a sequence, hold **Ctrl** or **Command** and **Shift**.
4. Select the **Deactivate** or **Activate** icon and confirm the change.
5. Review **Matching Rows** or preview the query results before saving or using the configuration.
