      ability to delete items from a custom list, but we’ve found that
      administrators were hesitant to delete the items due to the impacts that
      it could have on the underlying data, both current and historical data.
      We have now introduced the ability to mark custom list items as inactive,
      to avoid some of the pitfalls of the delete option.</span></p>
