Deprecation of Blocks

You may want to experiment with alternative solutions for a building block, which is made easy with the "Duplicate" action that creates copies of a block. However, often you end up with a project full of similar blocks, loosing overview of which one you actually want to use.

Therefore, you can now deprecate blocks that you do not intend to use, but that are still so valuable that you do not want to delete them yet.

In the overview page within the Arctis editor, simply select "This building block is deprecated".



As a result, the labels are presented as shown below.



For libraries, deprecated blocks are not recommended to use any longer, and could be replaced in the future.
