Deprecating Marketplace Content

Last modified: November 28, 2025

Introduction

You can deprecate components that are no longer supported or maintained, or that have better alternatives. This offers Marketplace users a clear view of which components are not recommended, as well as which components they can use instead.

You can deprecate components from several places:

  • The My Components page in the Personal section
  • The My Company Components page in the Company section
  • The component page in the Marketplace itself

The steps are the same no matter where you are:

  1. Find the component you want to deprecate, and click its contextual menu.
    On the My Components and My Company Components pages, this menu is available in the Actions column.

  2. Click Deprecate.

  3. In the Deprecate Component window that opens, fill in the following information:

    • Add a Reason for Deprecation. This is a mandatory field.
    • Choose one or more alternative components that can be used instead of the one you are deprecating. This is optional.

  4. Click Deprecate Component.

A badge is now displayed across the component's Marketplace page, letting users know why it was deprecated, and what alternative components are recommended by Mendix.

Permissions

If you are a company admin or a component developer, you can deprecate both personal components, and company components.
However, if the component is part of a content group, you need to be a member of that group to be able to deprecate components.
For details, refer to the Content Group section in Marketplace Home Page.
