Article summary
Archiving and deleting a class have different outcomes:
- Archive – removes students and deactivates the class but keeps all data
- Delete – permanently removes the class and all associated data
Archived classes can be restored and reused (manual classes only).
Archiving or deleting LMS‑imported classes does not affect the LMS.
To archive a class:
- Open the class menu (three dots) and select Archive class
- Archived classes are hidden from the Home page by default
- Enable Show archived classes in Profile to view them again
To delete a class:
- Open the class menu and select Class settings
- Scroll to Manage and click Delete class
- Confirm deletion when prompted
What is the difference between archiving and deleting a class?
Archiving a class deactivates it and removes students, but you can still access all class data, including questions and past responses. You can unarchive the class to continue asking questions and getting feedback — though this is only possible for manually created classes.
Deleting a class permanently removes it and all its data from your account. Students are also removed. Note: Neither archiving nor deleting a class imported from your LMS will affect your LMS classes.
Archive a class
- Click on the three dots on the top right of your class and choose Archive class.
Note that the archived class, by default, will no longer appear on your Home page.
To display archived classes on the Home page, navigate to your Profile.
Scroll down to Class configuration and toggle on Show archived classes on your Home page.
Delete a class
- Click on the three dots on the top right of your class and choose Class settings.
- Scroll down to Manage, then click Delete class.
