Working with published data products

Published data products can be minimally edited. You can edit the name, the contents of the data product cannot be changed after it is published. It remains available on Data Product Hub until you retire it.

Working with retired data products

You can retire any available data product. Retired data products are not available for new subscriptions by consumers. They cannot be edited and are not listed on Data Product Hub. Consumers who subscribed to the data product before it was retired can continue to work with it. Retired data products cannot be published again.
