Tip Tip: Leave the Require Re-Subscription check box cleared if you want all users who are subscribed to the older version of the API to be automatically subscribed to the new version. If not, they need to subscribe to the new version again.You can choose to deprecate old versions of this API at this stage by selecting the Deprecate Old Versions check box.
Note title Note Users will not automatically get subscribed to lower versions of an existing API even if the lower version is newly created. For example, if you create version v1 from existing API version v2, the subscriptions belonging to v2 are not automatically assigned to v1. The API is now published to the default API Store.

Go back to the API Publisher and click the API that you want to deprecate (e.g.,
PhoneVerification 1.0.0).

The API is now deprecated.Go back to the API Store, click the My Subscriptions menu and look under the Subscribed APIs sectionApplications menu and open the Default Application.

Tip Tip: When an API is deprecated, new subscriptions are disabled (you cannot see the subscription options) and existing subscribers can continue to use the API as usual until it is eventually retired.
