Hi All,

I have around 100 SPD 2010 workflows in SharePoint online.

Can we disable SPD 2010 workflows in SharePoint online site using Powershell or PNP?

Please help.

Hey Guys,

I was able to write a script to disable SPD2010 workflow. Please find details below, just update your sitename, login details and list ID

$url = "https://your.sharepoint.com/sites/abc"
$userName = "abc@xyz .onmicrosoft.com"
$password = ConvertTo-SecureString "India@000" -AsPlainText -Force

$SPOCredentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($userName, $password)

Function Disable-WorkflowAssociations($url,$SPOCredentials)
{
try{
$context = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($url)
$context.Credentials = $SPOcredentials
$AllLists=$context.Web.Lists
$list=$AllLists.GetById("#Idhere") #GetBYTitle can also be used
$context.Load($list.WorkflowAssociations)
$context.ExecuteQuery()
foreach($wfAssociation in $list.WorkflowAssociations) {

$wfAssociation.Enabled=$false
$wfAssociation.Update()
$context.ExecuteQuery();

}
}catch{
write-host "Error: $($_.Exception.Message)"
}
}
Disable-WorkflowAssociations -url $url -SPOCredentials $SPOCredentials

    Hello JinivThakkar-0173 ,

    SharePoint 2010 workflows have been retired since August 1, 2020 for new tenants and removed from existing tenants on November 1, 2020. This applies to all environments where Power Automate is available as a replacement solution (excluding the Department of Defense until Power Automate availability).

    After August 1, 2020, new Microsoft 365 customers can use SharePoint 2013 workflows or Power Automate. However, SharePoint 2013 workflows will follow a similar retirement path in the future, so it's highly recommended to use Power Automate or other supported solutions. You won't lose any content during the transition. However, all migration of workflows is a manual process.

    If you want to know how to disable workflow through powershell, you can refer to the following article：

    Thanks,

    Echo Du
