The state of an intent type shows whether it is available for intent creation:

• Draft: intents cannot be created.

  When an intent type is cloned or a new version is created, the clone or new version is created in Draft state.

• Released: intents can be created.

• Phased-out: intents cannot be created. Existing intents can be synced and audited.

A user with the required permissions can edit an intent type in any state, including changing the state.

If intents have been created from an intent type, it is a best practice to create a new version of the intent type and edit the new version instead of editing the version with intents present.
