Permanently Deleting a Workflow Stage

Most of the time, archiving is all you need to retire a workflow stage you no longer wish editors to use. Permanent deletion is a separate, stronger action for workflow stages you're certain you'll never need again, for example, duplicates created by mistake or stages left over from an old project.

Before you delete

A workflow stage must be archived before it can be permanently deleted. Before you permanently deleting a workflow stage, consider the following:

• Check where it's used. Deleting a workflow stage will unassign any items that reference it.
• Only Owners and Administrators can delete workflow stages.
