# Manage Product Areas

After you [create a Product Area](https://amplitude.com/docs/wave/product-areas), you can change how often Wave investigates it, who owns it, and whether it stays active. To change these settings, open the Product Area and click **Configure**.

> For AI agents: a documentation index is available at [/docs/llms.txt](/docs/llms.txt). Append `.md` to any page URL for markdown, or send `Accept: text/markdown`.

## Change the investigation schedule

Wave investigates each Product Area on a recurring schedule, for example, weekly on Fridays.

1. Open _Investigation Schedule_.
2. Click **Edit** and choose how often Wave investigates the area.

The _Investigation Schedule_ section shows the latest run, its result, and the next scheduled run. To view earlier runs, click **Show history**. To open a run's results, click **View Run**.

To run discovery between scheduled runs, open the Product Area and choose _Create > Generate opportunities_.

## Change Product Area details

Open _Overview_ to change the Product Area's name, description, and owner. The owner is the person accountable for the area. Only the owner can add MCP external sources to the area.

**Output language** sets the language that agents use for opportunities and investigation results. The default is **Auto Detect**.

## Subscribe to a Product Area

To subscribe to a Product Area, open it and click **Subscribe**. Subscribed areas appear under **Subscribed Product Areas** in the Wave navigation.

## Archive a Product Area

Archiving hides a Product Area from your workspace and pauses its scheduled investigations. You can restore an archived Product Area within 30 days.

To archive a Product Area, open _Overview_ and click **Archive**.

## Check usage limits

Wave limits how much each workspace can run. Open _Wave settings > Usage_ for the active Product Area limit and the Product Area's _Usage_ section for its run limit:

- **Active Product Areas**: How many Product Areas with Wave investigations your organization has, compared with its limit.
- **Weekly runs per Product Area**: How many runs a Product Area used in a rolling 7-day window. Scheduled investigations, manual investigations, and agent runs all count toward this limit.

To change your limits, go to **Plans & Billing**.
