+At a certain point, you may wish to deprecate a specific workspace image in

+Deprecation controls whether an entire image repository (and all tags) can be

+## Decommission an Image Tag
+
+Decommissioning controls whether an **individual** image tag can be used to
+create new workspaces. This may be useful in an environment where image tags are
+considered _immutable_.
+
+You can **decommission** an existing image tag to prevent them from being used
+to create new workspaces. Additionally, existing workspaces using this tag will
+be updated to use the **default image tag** upon their next rebuild.
+
+> ⚠️ You cannot decommission the default image tag. If you need to do so, update
+> the default tag and then decommission the previous default tag.
+
+To **decommission** an image tag:
+
+1. Go to **Images** and find the image whose tag you wish to decommission.
+1. Under **Available Tags**, find the tag you wish to decommission.
+1. Click the three-dot menu to the right in the table, and select
+   **Decommission**. A dialog will appear asking you to confirm your decision.
