Overview

You might need to update the status of a plan version (launch, suspend, archive, resume or delete) and wondering how to accomplish that through the Plan Designer/UI.

Solution

In order to manage the state of the plan versions, one needs to use the Plan/Config user for the provider.

1. Log in to the Plan Designer with the Plan User.
2. Go to Plans tab and select the plan to modify.
3. Click on the version name in order to get a list of all plan versions.
   
   
   
   
4. Select the version you need to modify, and execute the relevant action.
   
   Delete Version - This option is only present when the plan version is in a Draft state. This will result in the version completely disappearing from the list.
   
   
   
   Launch Version - This option is only present when the plan version is in a Draft state. The plan version will become available to subscribers. Note: Only one version can be available at a time so this will automatically suspend the currently available version.
   
   
   
   Suspend Version - Present when the plan version is in an Available state. The plan version will no longer be available to subscribers. Note: It's not available to new subscribers but subscribers that subscribed to it in the past can still use it.
   
   
   
   Resume Version - Present when the plan version is in a Suspended state. The plan version will become available to subscribers. Note: Only one version can be available at a time so this will automatically suspend the currently available version.
   
   
   
   Archive Version - Present when the plan version is in a Suspended state. This will archive the version permanently and it won't be possible to make it available anymore. Note: A version cannot be archived if it has subscribers assigned to it.
   
   
   
   
5. The version state will be updated based on the action executed. For instance, if the version was archived it will move into that state.
