Namespace state management

Release, deprecate, or delete namespaces for your tenant.

Namespace states

The namespaces listed in the Aspect Model Catalog can have 3 different states.

  • DRAFT (gray)

  • RELEASED (green)

  • DEPRECATED (red)

In the Aspect Models Overview and Namespaces Overview the same color pattern applies to easily identify the state.
