+##### Q: I want to temporarily stop updating one playlist but I don't want to have to delete everything in that row
+
+A: Add a `#` before the playlist in column A that you want to stop updating. The script ignores rows without a playlist or playlists that start with `#`. For example: `PLCiNIjl_KpQhFwQA3G19w1nmhEOlZQsGF` would become `#PLCiNIjl_KpQhFwQA3G19w1nmhEOlZQsGF`
