Site management

Archive a site

System or site administrators can archive any site in the General site admin screen.
Archiving a site means that:
  1. Archived sites are not visible to any user. An archived site will not appear in the list of sites on the Dashboard nor in any other place where a list of sites might be shown (searching, notifications setting page, etc.)
  2. An archived site cannot be accessed by any user except for system administrators
  3. No emails or other automated communications will emanate from an archived site
  4. A system administrator can only access an archived site by running a site search from the full site list.
Archiving a site does not do any of the following:
  1. Automatically delete or remove content from the site
  2. Automatically remove users from the site or change user permissions
  3. Affect in any way the audit records for a site. All records related to actions that took place on a site will remain
An archived site can be unarchived at any time; the site will not have changed in any way. If content should be deleted when a site is archived, this needs to take place separately. For example, a bulk download of all files to a ZIP file can be initiated for offline storage. Once that is complete, a site administrator can delete all the files (and then permanently delete files if required), in which case the files will no longer be part of the archived site. However, the audit records concerning those permanently deleted records will remain as part of the site.
