Retire or delete a release

Open Settings › Model, then the model’s Releases and the release. These lifecycle changes need installation permission. See Releases.

1. Check its version, workspace use and whether it runs the default workspace. Retire… stops new selection but keeps existing users on the release. The default workspace’s release cannot be retired; move that workspace to another usable release first if appropriate.
2. Choose More actions › Retire…, read the named release and confirm. Cancel keeps it available. Check the Retired state afterwards. Workspaces and change sets already using it keep working.
3. To offer it again, choose More actions › Bring back and check that it is available. A model with every release retired and no running workspace appears under Retired in the model list.
4. Use More actions › Delete… only for a release with no remaining use or references. Run by no workspace alone does not prove it is deletable: records, publications, change sets, profiles or mappings can still refer to it. Read the confirmation and any refusal before proceeding.
5. Confirm deletion only when the named unused release is no longer needed. Deleting its release does not delete editable drafts. If refused, retain it or retire it; do not delete history to force a release removal.

If the release changed state elsewhere, reload it and review the current state before retrying. Retirement is reversible; deletion is not the same operation.
