Delete flow
This section provides instructions on how to safely delete IO flows.
Active flows cannot be deleted. You must first edit the flow and disable it to proceed.
Warning
Flows deleted cannot be restored.
-
Open the left sidebar, select Visual Identity Orchestrator from the menu and the desired flow category.
-
On the right part of the table, under column actions, click on the Delete button to permanently delete the flow.
-
A pop-up will be shown to confirm the operation.
Before deleting a flow
Consider the following before permanently deleting a flow:
Check dependencies
- Verify if the flow is being called by other flows (especially in library flows)
- Check if any applications or services are configured to use this flow
- Review if the flow is set as a default flow for its category
Create a backup
- Export the flow to create a backup
- Save the JSON file in a secure location
- Document any custom configurations or integrations
Alternative to deletion
Instead of deleting, consider:
-
Deactivating the flow to prevent execution while retaining configuration
-
Creating a new version before making major changes
-
Renaming the flow to indicate it's deprecated
Post-deletion
After deleting a flow:
-
Update any documentation that referenced the deleted flow
-
Notify team members who may have been using the flow
-
Review and update any related flows that may have dependencies
