Activate, deactivate, or delete a guide

Completed

If a guide has been deactivated in Dynamics 365 Guides, you can reactivate it if you're an administrator. When you reactivate a guide, it immediately becomes available for authors to open or edit in the PC app.

You can also deactivate a guide or permanently delete it if you're sure that you no longer need it.

  1. Sign in to the instance by using your administrator credentials.

    To find the URL for the instance, select the Analyze tab in the PC app. The URL is shown in the Instance URL field at the bottom of the page. Copy this URL, and paste it into the Address bar of your web browser.

    Screenshot of the Instance URL field on the Analyze tab.

  2. In Power Apps, select the Guides app tile.

  3. In the drop-down list above the grid, select Inactive Guides to view all the guides that are currently inactive.

  4. Select the check box next to the appropriate guide, and then select Activate, Deactivate, or Delete at the top of the page.

Warning

You can't recover a guide if you permanently delete it.

If there are many guides, you can use the Search box in the upper-right corner of the page, or the letter filters at the bottom of the page, to find the correct guide.
