Archive a PM Block

Archive a PM Block that is no longer needed in your organization.

Overview

An archived PM Block has the following attributes:

All archived PM Blocks in the organization are accessible from the Archived PM Blocks page. See View Archived PM Blocks.
Archived PM Blocks are not available from the PM Blocks panel in Process Modeler. Archived PM Blocks cannot be added to future Process models.
A PM Block currently used by Processes can be archived. Current and future Requests for Processes using PM Blocks are not affected if those PM Blocks are archived.

Do not confuse archived PM Blocks with inactive ones. The Inactive status for a PM Block also indicates that new Requests of the Process can not be started. However, Process Designers can edit the Process as needed. Archived PM Blocks cannot be edited until they are restored.
