Hi all, I linked my Gitlab repository to a netlify not knowing I need to use netlify’s built-in build tools to deploy. Will need to remove it as I use a separate build tool. I think I will need a netlify staff to remove it although I’m not sure. If not, any ideas how to unlink it? Thanks! ---

You will indeed need our staff’s help (unless you want to delete and recreate the site without linking). What’s the repo path (`login/projectname`) or netlify sitename? ---

Hi, @LouO and welcome to the Netlify community site. It is no longer required to unlink the repo to stop builds from occurring. You can now self-serve this change without contacting our support team. There are instructions here: > **[Stop or activate builds](https://docs.netlify.com/configure-builds/stop-or-activate-builds/#stop-builds)** > > Stop builds for your site at will for more control of your workflow. When you’re ready for Netlify to build your site again, you can activate builds. If there are other questions about this, please let us know. ---
