# Edit a recipe

Based on your permission level, you can perform different actions on a recipe. Recipes can be edited via the Recipe Management page.  Learn more about the [recipe permissions model](../core-concepts/index.md#privacy-permissions-and-sharing).

First, click on the recipe you would like to modify, then select the settings cog to open a menu.

## Add recipients to a recipe

To add recipients to an existing recipe, select **Recipients** from the **Edit** menu.

By default, the maximum number of recipients is set to 25 to preserve overall performance.

## Mute or pause a recipe

If you wish to stop receiving notifications from a particular recipe, you can mute the recipe. A muted recipe is not deleted, but it stops sending notifications. Muting a recipe will silence your notifications, but other recipients of the recipe will still receive them.

Owners of recipes can **Pause for all** which will stop notifications to all recipients. This may be useful if, for example, recipients are away from their computers for an extended period of time and may not wish to receive notifications, or if there is a planned maintenance event on a monitored sensor.

To mute or pause a recipe, select the setting cog on the recipe panel to open a menu. Select **Status**, then choose **Mute** or **Pause** based on your preference.
