True or False: Deleting an application also deletes its objects.

In the context of Appian, when an application is deleted, the objects within that application do not get deleted automatically. This design decision is significant because it helps to prevent unintentional loss of data and resources. Users may need to retain some of the application’s components for future use or to maintain historical records, thus providing a layer of protection against accidental deletions.

The ability to manage and independently delete objects ensures that users can curate and maintain their environments effectively. This independence means that applications can be reorganized or restructured without losing all associated objects, allowing for flexibility in managing development resources and ensuring that important data and design elements can be preserved beyond the lifecycle of a particular application.

Thus, while deleting the application itself might remove links to those objects from the application’s interface, the objects remain intact in the system to be referenced or used as needed.
