Can you disable a dataset from profile and retain past data within it?

Disabling a dataset from a profile in Adobe Experience Platform allows for the past data contained within that dataset to be retained. This means that even after the dataset is disabled, historical information and insights can still be accessed or utilized. This capability is critical for maintaining data continuity, as it ensures that previously collected data remains intact and usable for analysis, reporting, or any other operational needs.

While it might seem intuitive that disabling a dataset would lead to the loss of data, the design of the Adobe Experience Platform specifically accommodates data retention for analytical integrity. This enables organizations to evaluate past interactions and customer behavior without losing historical context, which would be detrimental to decision-making processes.
