The Removed or deprecated platform features article describes features that have been removed, or that are planned for removal in platform updates of finance and operations apps.
- A removed feature is no longer available in the product.
- A deprecated feature isn't in active development and might be removed in a future update.
A deprecation notice will be added in the Removed or deprecated platform features article 12 months before the removal of any feature from the product.
