A channel release can be demoted from a channel. When a channel release is demoted, the release will no longer be available for download, but will not be withdrawn from environments where it has already downloaded or installed. The release's channel sequence and version will not be reused and for customers will appear to have been skipped. Un-demoting a release will restore its place in the channel sequence making it again available for download and installation.
