Can I archive a course?

While you can't archive an entire course, you can archive the enrolment of all users within a course allowing you to maintain the reporting data while hiding the course from the users.

You can archive users in a course if you no longer want them to have access to the course but want to maintain their completion data within the course report.

When archiving users:

1. Access the Course Report

2. Archive Users

3. Unarchive Users

4. What the Users sees

Accessing the Course Report

To access the Archive option, first access the Course Report for the course you want to archive by clicking Report on a course from the content page, or go to the Reports tab at the top of your screen and click View Report on the Course Report section.

Then use the dropdown box to choose a course to report on.
