Deprecated Excel tools plugin

We are using [Deprecated] Export SQL to Flat File smart service from Excel tools plugin and we recently updated the plugin version to 2.10.0 in admin console. We tested it is working fine as expected. Do we know if we can continue using this smart service?

    We encountered a similar situation while using the "com.appiancorp.analytics.excel_export" plugin. It had been functioning without any issues, but noticed that displaying a warning indicating that it is no longer listed on the Appian AppMarket. The message also recommended removing it from your environment after confirming that there are no dependencies.
    So this suggests that deprecated plug-ins may eventually be unlisted from the Appian AppMarket.

    To address this, we proactively remediated our code by transitioning to the Appian out-of-the-box (OOTB) smart service, "Export Data Store Entity to Excel" to avoid any potential issues in the future.
