How to Archive Your Products

If you no longer require a product and want to remove it, you can archive it!

About This Feature

If you no longer require a product and would like to remove it from the list of your products, you can archive it!

At the moment, you can only archive courses, communities, and bundles. If you would like to see the ability to archive other products, we would love to hear from you!

When a product is archived, it is removed from the corresponding list in the Admin Dashboard and moved to the Archived tab. Archiving products preserves the associated data, and the products can be unarchived at any time — provided you remain on the Basic plan or above.

If a course or a bundle is published at the time of archival, it will remain published, and existing enrolled students will continue to have access to this product. The product access settings, such as Private and Hidden settings, will remain the same.

If you would like to remove access to the archived courses or bundles completely, we recommend:

• Setting your product to Private and Hidden (if possible) if you want to prevent future enrollments while maintaining the product accessibility to already enrolled students.
• Unpublish if you want to prevent future enrollments and ensure the product is not accessible to enrolled students.

If a community is published at the time of archival, it will be hidden from learners, and they will no longer be able to access it.

Can I Delete a Product?

Only courses with no enrollments or communities with no associated orders can be deleted. Learn more about it here:

• How to Delete or Archive a Community

Other products, such as bundles, cannot be deleted.
