Archiving a section will remove it from your active section 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 from the left-hand navigation menu.

  2. Click the three dots "..." next to a section.

  3. Click "Archive Section."
