Overview
As your learning programs evolve, you may find that certain courses or events are no longer needed in active use. Archiving is a helpful way to keep your environment organized while preserving historical data. This article explains what you can expect when you archive a course or an event, and how this action affects certificates and reporting.
Archiving a Course: What Happens to Certificates?
If you archive a course that is no longer in use, you can do so with confidence knowing that nothing changes for learners who have already completed it.
Learners who earned a certificate for the course will continue to have full access to their certificates.
Any certificate expiration rules that were set up will continue to apply exactly as defined.
Past completions remain intact and available for reference.
Archiving simply removes the course from active visibility and prevents new learners from enrolling, helping you keep your catalog clean and focused—without impacting historical achievements.
Archiving an Event: How Reporting Is Affected
When you archive an event, all of its historical information is safely preserved.
Event status, attendance, and completion data are fully retained.
Archived events no longer appear on the default dashboard view, but you can easily access them by enabling the Archived filter.
This approach allows you to maintain accurate historical records while keeping dashboards and reports streamlined.
By using archiving strategically, you maintain a clear, organized learning environment while ensuring past accomplishments and data remain accessible whenever you need them.
