After December 31, 2025, existing processes continue to run, and you can activate, deactivate, and edit them; however, we recommend using Flow Builder. To migrate existing processes, plan your switch to Flow Builder and use the Migrate to Flow tool. For new automations, create flows in Flow Builder.
If you install a non-template process from a managed package, you can only activate or deactivate it. If the process is a template, you can view and clone it, and you can edit the clone.
After you activate a process, you can no longer edit it.
You can’t delete a process when it has unexecuted groups of scheduled actions. The workaround is to delete the unexecuted groups of unscheduled actions.
