Stop old assets from sneaking back into production.

Deprecation Manager is a UE5 editor and runtime tool that lets teams clearly mark outdated assets as Deprecated, making it obvious when a Blueprint, material, mesh, texture, or other project asset should no longer be used.

In large Unreal projects, legacy content often survives forever. Someone replaces an asset, but the old version stays buried in the project. Months later, it gets dragged back into production by mistake.

This tool gives your project a real “do not use this anymore” workflow.

Keep your project clean. Protect your pipeline. Stop deprecated assets from coming back from the dead.
