There are many temporary toggles that have been in the Open edX platform for years, and have not yet been removed.

Find candidate toggles for DEPR

First search for any open toggle DEPR tickets on the DEPR Project board.
If none are available, you can search for temporary toggles that might be candidates for DEPR here:
- https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ypAg544KvFCu_SHBVloLyezPGIlifyDoVG-S-RuD5R4/edit#gid=1849239112, or
- Search in Github for "toggle_use_cases: temporary".

Once https://github.com/openedx/edx-toggles/issues/284 is implemented, the instructions/link to search for temporary toggles needs to be updated.

Start the DEPR process for a toggle

See the Project board READMEs for help creating DEPR tickets.
Reach out in Slack in #wg-depr-slash-n-burn with any questions, or to join the DEPR WG meetings.
