Delete Unpublished Object Workflows

You can use Application Composer to delete any unpublished object workflows and their associated actions from the current sandbox. Upon deletion, the corresponding create or update events won't be raised and none of the actions will be triggered.

However, deleting an unpublished object workflow won't delete the email template or object function referenced in the object workflow actions. Also, if an action has been scheduled before the object workflow is deleted, then the action will continue to be executed at the scheduled time. If your sandbox was already published, then you can't delete the object workflow but you can inactivate it.

To delete an unpublished object workflow:

1. In Application Composer, click Object Workflows under Common Setup.

   The Object Workflows page appears.

2. Click the Object list and select the object whose workflow you want to delete.

3. Optionally, if you know the name of the workflow, enter it in the Name field and specify if it's active or not using the Active list.

4. Click Search.

   The page displays the object workflow based on the specified search criteria.

5. Select the object workflow and click the delete icon.

6. Click OK on the confirmation dialog.

Inactivate an Object Workflow

Instead of deleting an object workflow, you can inactivate it. Do this if you think you might need the object workflow later. Also, if your sandbox was already published, then your only choice is to inactivate it. If an action has been scheduled before the object workflow is inactivated, then the action will continue to be executed at the scheduled time.

An object workflow is automatically activated once you save it.

To inactivate an object workflow:

1. In Application Composer, open the existing object workflow that you want to inactivate.

2. Deselect the Active check box.

3. Click Save.
