Archiving a Section will remove it from your active Sections list. Once a Section is archived, neither students nor teachers will be able to access student work or grades. Teachers can unarchive a Section to restore access, progress, and grades.

Deleting a Section or Course will remove it from the archived list. Deleted sections and courses cannot be restored.

Archive a Section

  1. Navigate to your Sections app

  2. Click the "..." button next to a Section, and click "Archive Section"
