Locking, archiving, and deleting a space

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 can lock, archive, or delete a space.

Locking a Space

Locking a space stops all further activities. If it's a public space, it will still appear on the Public Spaces page.

How to lock a space:
  1. Click the three dots (...) icon near the space header.



  2. From the dropdown, click Settings.
  3. In the pop-up, go to the Advanced tab.



  4. Click Lock Space.
Notes
You can unlock the space anytime.

Archiving a Space

Archiving restricts new activities, but existing content remains viewable. Archived spaces won't appear in the Public Spaces section or search results.

How to archive a space:
  1. Click the three dots (...) icon near the space header.



  2. From the dropdown, click Settings.
  3. In the pop-up, go to the Advanced tab.



  4. Click Archive Space.
Idea
Optional: Check Don't show this space in search results to hide it from searches.

Deleting a Space

Deleting a space permanently removes all content. However, admins can export conversations and manuals before deletion.

How to delete a space:
  1. Click the three dots (...) icon near the space header.



  2. From the dropdown, select Settings.
  3. Under the General tab, click Delete Space.



Notes
You cannot delete a paid space unless you change its access type first.
