New instances cannot be added. Most of these will be removed from your applications in May 2027, while others will remain but require migration to the native controls. Tenant administrators can find deprecated Dashboard bundle controls with the Deprecated charts opened in sheet system event. This event is triggered whenever a user opens an application sheet containing a deprecated chart. For more information, see [Finding deprecated charts](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/cloud-services/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/Visualizations/find-deprecated-charts.htm). Information note More information about deprecated charts can be found on [Qlik Community](https://community.qlik.com/t5/Official-Support-Articles/About-the-deprecation-of-Qlik-Analytics-charts/ta-p/2543997). ### Deprecated controls that will be removed from user applications Existing instances of these controls will be deleted in May 2027. #### Container Deprecated by Tab container.
