Note: Once a Plan is Published, no changes can be made. The Plan can be Deleted, whether on an Integrator’s end or on the Monitoring center’s level. It will be removed from the Integrator’s Plan list and not be available for new Subscriptions,  but once a Plan has been used on any Site, it will be there until it is removed.
