# Service Status in the Portfolio

Your Service Portfolio is more than a list of what you offer. Each service in it carries a status that reflects where it is in its lifecycle. The status determines whether a service is currently available, being phased out, or fully retired from active catalogue work.

Managing status helps you keep your portfolio up to date without removing historical information or disrupting ongoing services that customers are already using.

***

#### Changing the status of a service

You can update a service status directly in the Service Portfolio.

To do this:

1. Open the Service Portfolio in the Equipme app
2. Select one or more services from the list
3. Select actions at the top
4. Choose status and pick one of the available options

Whichever option you choose will be applied to all selected services.

***

#### The available status options

### <mark style="color:green;">Activate</mark>

An activated service is a live and available offer in your portfolio.

When a service is activated:

* It becomes visible in the Marketplace
* Customers can request or order it
* It is shown anywhere you work with services, such as categories, linked services, templates or onboarding flows

Use this status for services that are currently part of your active offering.

***

### <mark style="color:red;">Deactivate</mark>

A deactivated service is no longer sold, but it remains present in your portfolio.

Deactivation is useful when you want to stop offering a service, but still keep it available for existing customers, billing, or operational work.

When a service is deactivated:

* It no longer appears in the Marketplace
* New customers cannot order it
* It remains visible inside the Service Portfolio
* Existing orders and active services based on it stay unchanged

Deactivation works well when a service is being reworked, replaced or gradually phased out.

***

### <mark style="color:purple;">Archive</mark>

An archived service is removed from your active portfolio but kept for historical and operational purposes.

When a service is archived:

* It disappears from your active Service Portfolio
* It cannot be ordered
* It is not part of daily portfolio work
* Data remains available so you can continue managing existing customer services

Archiving is designed for services that have fully reached their end of life. It keeps your workspace clean while preserving information you may still need.
