How can I change the lifecycle status from "Published" to "Draft" within the UI?

I want to change the lifecycle status of an audience to 'Draft' after it has already been marked as 'Published' or 'Inactive' through the UI. Does anyone know how to change back to 'Draft' after an audience has already been published? There's no longer an option for 'Save as draft' in the audience builder.

    Looks like you can't change a 'Published' or 'Inactive' audience back to draft mode. The only way is to copy the 'Published' or 'Inactive' audience which puts it back into draft mode.

     

    "Once an audience is in the published state, you cannot change the original audience back into the draft state. However, if you copy the audience, the newly copied audience will be in the draft state."

      @kendallhall Hi Kendall,

      Yes, this is correct. Only the "copied" audience would be back into draft state. Which would most likely mean you would want to delete the original audience and update the copied.
