What will happen if a processing set is deleted after the publish stage?

If a processing set is deleted after the publish stage, it signifies that the data has already been finalized and made available for use. In such systems, especially in contexts involving data publication, once a processing set has reached the published state, it is typically considered immutable or locked in a way that prevents further modifications or deletions. Thus, attempting to delete a processing set post-publication is not feasible, reinforcing the integrity of the published data and ensuring that any related processes or reports that rely on that finalized data remain intact.

The inability to delete a processing set after it has been published is a safeguard designed to maintain data consistency and reliability, which are critical components in data management practices. This policy ensures that the integrity of data that stakeholders rely on is not compromised by accidental deletions at a stage when the data has presumably been deemed complete and ready for use.
