# Deprecated Features

This page lists **features that are being phased out or have been removed from Thrive**. We're committed to giving you advance notice and clear alternatives when features change.

## What is Feature Deprecation?

When a feature is deprecated, it means:

- The feature still works but is no longer actively developed.
- It will be removed from Thrive on a specified date.
- We recommend transitioning to an alternative solution.

## How You'll Be Notified

When we deprecate a feature, you'll be informed through:

- Release notes on this site
- Updates to this page
