Namespace: microsoft.graph.industryData

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Perform a soft delete of a referenceDefinition object. You can disable, but not delete a reference definition, because historical data might be tied to the code value from previous data runs. Disabling keeps the integrity of the data but prevents future data uploads from being associated with the disabled reference code value.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service US Government L4 US Government L5 (DOD) China operated by 21Vianet
