Managing Your Competitors — Edit, Pause, and Delete
All competitor management happens on the Competitors page at kompwatch.com/competitors.
Viewing a Competitor's Change History
Click any competitor's name on the Competitors page (or dashboard) to open its detail page (/competitors/[id]). There you'll find:
- Status badge — Active or Paused
- Snapshot and change counts — total snapshots taken and changes detected since you started tracking
- Full change history — up to 50 most recent changes, each showing severity, change type, AI summary, and the page that changed
- "Tracking since" date — when monitoring began for this competitor
Use the detail page to do a quick competitive audit before a sales call, board meeting, or product planning session.
Pausing a Competitor
Pausing stops new snapshots and change detection without deleting any data. Use this when:
- A competitor is undergoing a known redesign and you expect a flood of noise
- You've hit your plan's competitor limit and want to free a slot temporarily
To pause:
- Go to kompwatch.com/competitors
- Click Pause on the right side of the competitor row
A paused competitor shows a grey status dot. Click Resume to re-enable monitoring. No digest changes are generated while paused.
Deleting a Competitor
Deleting permanently removes the competitor and all its historical snapshots and change data.
- Go to kompwatch.com/competitors
- Click Remove on the right side of the competitor row
- Confirm the deletion in the prompt
This action is irreversible. If you want to stop monitoring temporarily without losing history, use Pause instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I re-activate a paused competitor? Yes — click Resume on the competitor row. Monitoring resumes on the next snapshot cycle.
If I delete a competitor and re-add it, do I lose history? Yes. Deleting removes all snapshots and change records. If you re-add the same URL, KompWatch starts fresh.
Can I bulk-delete competitors? Not yet — each competitor must be deleted individually.
