Delete Agents: Soft & Permanent


Managing a long list of Agents can make selecting the right Agent while executing tests difficult. In this scenario, Testsigma lets you push Agents to an obsolete state to hide them from the Agents list page. You can restore/delete these Agents permanently when needed. This article discusses how to soft/permanently delete Agents in Testsigma.
