When you start working on a goal and it becomes irrelevant in your organization, we recommend deactivating it, instead of deleting it. Deactivating a goal keeps its historical information and gives you a chance to reactivate it at a later time. There are times, however, when deleting a goal might make sense, to keep your goal list accurate.
You must have the following:
Adobe Workfront plan* | Pro or higher |
Adobe Workfront license* | Request or higher For more information, see Adobe Workfront licenses overview. |
