Plan Operations
Let’s explore various actions you can do from a plan’s Details page.

Once the changes are saved, the updated plan details will apply to new subscriptions created afterward. Existing subscriptions will remain unchanged.
Marking a Plan as Inactive or Active
Marking a plan as inactive allows you to make a subscription option unavailable for new subscriptions while retaining its existing data. Inactive plans can be reactivated at any time to resume availability.

- Select the plan which you want to mark as active.
- Click Mark as Active.
The plan will be marked as active. Marking the plan as active again makes it available for use while preserving all historical subscription and configuration data.
