When I import a new repo from GitHub into SonarCloud, I get a screen stating that Sonar is checking for compatibility with AutoScan and then it starts automatically scanning the repo. I do not want AutoScan. I plan on using Travis CI to scan the project as I need code coverage and test execution results. How do I prevent SonarCloud from automatically setting up AutoScan? ---

Hi, Please see this similar topic: > [@How to disable auto scan](https://community.sonarsource.com/t/how-to-disable-auto-scan/20941/2): > > Hello @monsam, To turn off Autoscan you can go to Administration \> Automatic Analysis on your project page on SonarCloud. There you will find a toggle to turn off the Automatic Analysis. Hope that helps, Tom Benoit ---

Hi again, Note that it’s currently not possible to cancel/disable autoscan when you first create your project. The first analysis will be automatically launched. We’re going to provide a way to immediately deactivate AutoScan, but I can’t tell you yet when it will be available. HTH, Benoit ---

This does not help. That first analysis becomes the baseline that all subsequent analyses are measured against. As our sonar-project.properties file is not read during the AutoScan, the baseline is now wrong. Please consider disabling the immediate AutoScan for all projects until there is a way to opt out before adding a project. This has completely stopped our onboarding of about 75 repos into our paid org. ---

> [@rayharris](#): > > As our sonar-project.properties file is not read during the AutoScan, the baseline is now wrong. Hi Ray, from what you’re saying, you are moving from a SonarQube instance to SonarCloud, is that correct? Maybe we could detect such case (= when there is a `sonar-project.properties` file), and not activate AutoScan. @TomVanBraband and @SiegfriedEhret, what’s your feeling about this potential improvement? Note that you should not worry about setting a wrong baseline. You can always remove analyses from the project history (in the “Activity” page of the project), so in your case the first one(s) done by AutoScan. ---

We were planning on using SonarQube as our code was originally on a GitHub Enterprise instance. Before we got the license, a re-org happened and we moved all of our code to GitHub. I’m an admin for our SonarCloud org. I went to the Activity tab of several of our projects. The gear icon had an option to “Create Custom Event” and the pencil icon would let me change the version. I didn’t see any option to delete the scan. ---

This is what I see after importing a new project and then disabling AutoScan after it finishes. ![Screen Shot 2020-03-11 at 8.12.30 AM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/sonarsource/uploads/sonarcommunity/original/2X/d/d7fc51984fbc2350111e79d804a354ae36355c0b.png) ---

You don’t see the action because you have only 1 analysis. As soon as you get at least 2, you will be able to see it: ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/sonarsource/uploads/sonarcommunity/original/2X/a/adaff252ad250ff6604aadad91f646b29855ce18.png)
