How should deprecated dashboards be handled?

< 1 min read

Deprecated dashboards should be handled through a controlled retirement process.
In my project, we first analyzed usage reports to confirm low or no active users.
We informed stakeholders in advance and shared the replacement dashboard if available.
Access was restricted instead of immediate deletion to avoid business disruption.
We archived the dashboard with proper version labeling for reference.
All related documentation was updated to mark it as deprecated.
Data refresh was disabled to reduce unnecessary system load.
This ensured clean reporting governance without sudden impact on users.
