Locking, archiving, and deleting a space
Overview
You can lock, archive, or delete a space whenever needed in the community.
Who can perform these actions?
Only the group admin, hosts, and Superhost can lock, archive, or delete a space.
Superhost and community hosts can access a space's settings even for the spaces they're not part of. All spaces of a community can be managed from Manage Spaces page in Spaces.
