Is there any clear direction available from SailPoint on Accelerator pack and Rapid setup, both will exist or one will be deperecated over time? And which one is recommonded. I see a new version of AP is released for 8.2 and sometime back with release of Rapid setup a release note was issued that AP will be deperecated , is that still valid? ---

Hi @abhishek_chowdhury At this point, it is recommended that Rapid Setup is chosen of the two. Some documentation can be found [here](https://community.sailpoint.com/t5/IdentityIQ-Server-Software/8-1-p1-Rapid-Setup-FAQ/ta-p/171969). ---
