Do you need to remove or close an Opportunity? You can either set it to Inactive or Deactivate it! Here we cover:
How do I remove an Opportunity?
You might want to change the status of an Opportunity to Inactive or deactivate it if:
- You plan to recreate it in the future.
- You want to remove it from public view for now.
- You want to remove it before any users respond.
- It was canceled.
- It was a one-time event that didn't have any hours submitted to it and won't be recreated in the future.
ⓘ So you know:
- You can always change the status of an Opportunity back to Active.
