About the Feature

Deprecated Controlled Vocabularies are active terms that can no longer be used in Vault Safety but can still be imported into the system if an E2B case contains these terms.

Vault Safety encourages deprecating Controlled Vocabularies instead of inactivating them.

Configure Controlled Vocabularies provides more information on how to use this feature.
