1. In the Bridge widget, select the bridge you want to disconnect.

2. From the Selected menu, navigate to:
   Commands > Disconnect.
   

3. The Confirm Disconnect Action dialog opens.
   

4. Click Yes to disconnect the bridge immediately, or Schedule to perform the action later.
   (See Scheduling Jobs for more information.)

After a Solace bridge has been disconnected, it automatically initiates a reconnection attempt as per its configured retry logic.
