Archive or delete a group
When a class or quarter is over, administrators can archive or delete a group to remove it from the active groups view. Both actions have different implications, so here's a quick rundown to help you decide which is right for you:
Archiving a group preserves membership records, resources, chat history, event history, and attendance data in case it needs to be unarchived later. Keep the following in mind:
Chat conversations are archived and future events are removed.
Unarchiving restores the same members, resources, and past events. Those members will again count toward your Groups subscription.
Inactive profiles in People remain on archived group member lists to keep attendance history accurate. If these groups become active again, inactive profiles will be removed from the list, but their attendance history will remain intact.
Deleting an active or archived group permanently removes all information and data for that group. It cannot be recovered.
