SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Deleting workflows from Copilot Studio agents carries significant risk of breaking dependent agent topics, forgetting to push changes to the live environment, or accidentally removing critical shared flows. This skill eliminates these risks by guiding you through a fully validated, safe deletion process.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reference Validation: Automatically scans all agent topics to identify any that call the target workflow, preventing broken agent functionality after deletion.
  • End-to-End Workflow Removal: Handles both local file deletion and live push to Copilot Studio, ensuring your changes are synced to your production environment.
  • Safety Guardrails: Includes pre-deletion checkpoints, dry run previews of changes, and one-click rollback options to avoid permanent data loss.
  • Use Case: If you have an outdated expense approval workflow that is no longer needed, this skill will guide you through safely removing it, alert you if any topics rely on it, and ensure the change is applied to your live agent.

Quick Start

Use the delete workflow skill to safely remove the unused "Expense Approval" workflow from your Copilot Studio agent without breaking dependent topics.
