How to hide older checklist from users without loosing data? | Community
Skip to main content

Hi,

We currently have an outdated single onboarding checklist in our product, and we’ve created new segmented versions to replace it. However, we don’t want to lose the data from the existing checklist.

I checked with Fin and reviewed the checklist FAQs, and it looks like I’d need to delete the old checklist to prevent users who’ve already seen it from accessing it again. Is there really no way to simply “unpublish” or disable it instead?

Thanks in advance!

You’re right unfortunately, there isn’t currently a way to simply “unpublish” or disable an old checklist without deleting it. Once deleted, users won’t be able to access it again, which is the only way to ensure they move onto your new segmented versions. I know that’s not ideal if you want to preserve historical data, but similar to sourcing bmw auto spares, sometimes replacing is the only reliable option.
