Removed and deprecated platform features

The Removed or deprecated platform features article describes features that have been removed, or that are planned for removal in platform updates of finance and operations apps.

• A removed feature is no longer available in the product.
• A deprecated feature isn't in active development and might be removed in a future update.

A deprecation notice will be added in the Removed or deprecated platform features article 12 months before the removal of any feature from the product.

For breaking changes that affect only compilation time, but that are binary-compatible with sandbox and production environments, the deprecation time will be less than 12 months. Typically, these changes are functional updates that must be made to the compiler.
