This microlearning centers around cleaning up properties. Properties are an essential means to add variable values to flows that usually depend on the environment where the flow is running. Please refer to this [[microlearning>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Crash Course.Crash Course Platform.crashcourse-platform-deploy-property-management||target="blank"]] for more information.

In this context menu, you have the option "Unused properties." Clicking this will open a pop-up showing all unused properties in that environment. With the help of the pop-up and the available options on the pop-up, you can select and subsequently delete properties.

Once you have cleaned the properties, you still need to create a new release to effectuate the changes in the environment in question. Consequently, this will mean that each runtime for which you have removed at least **one** property will be redeployed.
