Deprecate or unpublish a listing

MarketplaceUpdated September 23, 2026

Deprecating a listing hides it from new buyers without breaking existing customers. This article covers the workflow.

Before you start

You need the Admin role on the seller tenant.

Step 1 — Open the listing

Open Content → Marketplace, switch to My listings, and click the listing. Open the overflow menu at the top right.

The marketplace is the shared shelf every seller tenant lists into.

Step 2 — Deprecate or unpublish

Pick Deprecate to keep the listing accessible to existing licence holders but hide it from search. Pick Unpublish to hide it completely. Neither action affects existing licences; they continue to work.

The listing drawer collects the price, payout method and courseware assignments for a new listing.

Step 3 — Communicate the change

Message existing licence-holders (from the buyer contacts list on the listing) to explain the deprecation. Point them at the replacement listing if you have one. Silence produces support tickets.

Messaging inbox

The inbox is where every direct message and broadcast lands.

Notes

  • You can re-publish a deprecated listing any time.
  • Never delete a listing — deletion breaks existing licences.
