Handle tag-outdated mini programs

2025-09-19 09:00

After a mini program is bound with a tag group, the mini program is labelled as Outdated if the tag group is modified or deleted. This status can impact the functionality and classification of the mini program within the target app. For more information about the impacts of outdated tag groups, see Impacts of outdated tag groups.

This topic describes how to handle tag-outdated mini programs in the tenant workspace.

Prerequisites

Only tenant workspace admins have the permissions to manage tag-outdated mini programs.

Send notifications to developers

When a tenant workspace admin modifies or deletes a tag group, mini programs that are bound with the tag group may become outdated.

To avoid possible negative impacts caused by the outdated tags, you are advised to send notifications to developers to notify them to update the tags so that the mini programs can work as expected.

For more information about how to send notifications, see Notifications.

(Optional) Force remove the mini programs

If the tag groups bound with mini programs are outdated and the service of the mini program is affected, you can force remove the mini programs if the tags are not updated. After the tags bound to the mini program are updated, the mini program can be released again.

To force remove a mini program, take the following steps:

Log on to the Mini Program platform as a workspace admin.
In the left navigation pane, click Mini Programs.
On the Manage Mini Programs page that appears, click the name of the mini program that you want to manage.
On the mini program page that appears, click Force Remove Mini Program.
