Sometimes a topic stops having relevant content for users. At any time a topic can be archived. If the topic becomes relevant again, then the topic can be unarchived.

What Does Archive Do?

Member View

• If the topic was visible to a member, Archive will make the topic and all content in the topic disappear from the member view.
• The topic is no longer searchable or visible under Discover. 

Studio

• On the Topics page archived topics can be displayed by using the Status filter and selecting the checkbox for Archived. Community Admins and Brand Super Admins can look at archived topics on the Topics page at any time. 
  
  
  
  
• Edit is an available option for archived topics under the Topics page.
  
  
• The Calendar page will no longer show the topic or content in the archived topic.
