Archiving a Discussion

About Archiving Discussions

  • When you archive a discussion, it is frozen and hidden from default sections of My Kialo. Users who have been invited to the discussion can still access it; however no changes can be made.
  • You should archive discussions when they are no longer likely to be useful, such as after a module or topic has been completed. 
  • Archived discussions can be unarchived or deleted permanently. 
  • If you want to stop students from contributing to or changing a discussion but it is likely to remain helpful, consider Stopping the Discussion rather than archiving.
