When retiring templates, what must be ensured before migrating documents?

• A. Templates are not assigned to active documents.
• B. Documents are all deleted.
• C. The old template remains active until all documents are migrated.
• D. Nothing; migration is optional.

Answer: (A)

When you retire a template, it should no longer be in active use by documents before you migrate. The key is to ensure none of the active documents are assigned to the templates you’re retiring. If a document still references a retiring template, the migration can fail or produce inconsistencies because the document’s template anchor is being removed. To proceed smoothly, reassign those documents to current templates (or remove the association) prior to migration. Deleting documents isn’t required, and leaving the old template active until all documents migrate would undermine retirement. Migration is typically part of moving to the new setup, so references must be cleared first.
