2021 NOL do I have to carryforward to 2022 or can I save the 2021 NOL to use in a later year?

I had a large NOL during the 2021 Tax Year.   I reviewed Publication 536 and its worksheets and calculated the NOL Carryover for 2021 to 2022.   I did not have a lot of business income in 2022 and would like NOT to use the 2021 in 2022.   Do I have to start the Carryover of the 2021 NOL in 2022 or can I defer and carryover the 2021 NOL n a later year?
