Which step is appropriate to deactivate a Workflow Profile that is no longer needed, without deleting it?

• A. Delete the Workflow Profile
• B. Hide the Workflow Profile
• C. Move to DO_NOT_USE Structure
• D. Move to Another Workflow Profile Cube Root Hierarchy

Answer: (C)

Placing the Workflow Profile into a DO_NOT_USE structure is the way to deactivate it without deleting. This structure acts as a repository for items that should no longer be active in production but must be kept for reference, audit trails, or potential reactivation later. By moving the profile there, it won’t appear in normal selections or be picked up by automated workflows, effectively turning it off while preserving its history and relationships. Deleting would remove it entirely and can’t be undone; hiding might obscure it but doesn’t guarantee it won’t be referenced or used in some processes; moving to another root doesn’t inherently mark it inactive. So, moving to DO_NOT_USE is the best approach to deactivate without deleting.
