How to deactivate the workflow properly

[BanuMahalakshmi]

Hi,

Please advise to deactivate the workflow, the workflow is in Published status = true but the active status = false

Between the many combinations of Active (true or false) and Published (true or false), what is the proper way to "unpublish (deactivate)" a workflow?

I've seen the note that active contexts for a workflow must be completed or killed before the workflow version can be unpublished (published = false).

And it appears that previous versions of the workflow are Active (active = true) and Unpublished (published = false).

Of course there are also workflows that we have that are Published (published = true) and Inactive (active = false)

 what is the "proper" way to do decommision  the workflow?

Thanks.

Its already displaying SetActive (it means the workflow deactivated) but still its showing published = true.

Hello @BanuMahalakshmi ,

I usually prefer to use Checkout and Published options for activating and deactivating the workflow,
This directly activate and deactivate the workflow :
