Use these instructions to archive or delete an intranet page. Archive and delete pages to help keep your intranet tidy and uncluttered. Archived pages are content that is not currently relevant to most users of the intranet. Archived content is hidden from users by default, but users can choose to show or hide archived content from their view, so archived items can still be viewed when necessary.

When you archive or delete a page you automatically archive or delete any subpages or attached files, as well as comments. When you delete a page, you won't have access to any sort of "Recycle Bin" to retrieve the page from, so try to be sure you can really get rid of a page before you click the Delete button.

Choose to show or hide archived content

While archived content is hidden by default, users can choose whether to show or hide archived content from their view on the intranet. When archived content is hidden, it will not show in navigation or recent activity. Archived content is always excluded from search results, but at the top of search results, an option is available to show any archived items found in the search.

To change your archived content setting:

1. Click on your name and photo on the top right of any page to open the dropdown menu.
2. Change the View archived content toggle to ON or OFF. Your view will refresh to put the new setting in effect.

If you have chosen to show archived content, it will appear in navigation with the word Archived beside the title.

Archive a page

Archive content on your intranet that is no longer current. When you archive a page, any subpages, attached files or comments will also be archived.

1. Navigate to the page that you want to archive.
2. Click the More icon (three dots) in the page header to see more page actions.
   
   
   
   
3. Click Archive in the menu that opens. If you have the View archived content setting on, you will see the page will refresh with an Archived label above the page header.
   
   

If you have chosen not to view archived content, when you archive a page it will disappear from your navigation. If you navigate away from the archived page, you will be taken to the first non-archived parent page. You won't be able to navigate back to the archived page, unless you change View archived content to ON in your settings.

Automatically archive content

Any time after adding a page, you can set a date for that specific page to archive. You can also set rules to auto archive calendar events, news/blog posts, and forum topics after a certain amount of time. These rules will apply to all events, posts or topics that are subpages of the content that has the rule. To learn more about auto archiving, see the page Auto archive content.

Delete a page

Remember that when you delete a page, any subpages, attached files or comments will also be deleted.

1. Navigate to the page that you want to delete.
2. Click the More icon (three dots) in the page header to see more page actions.
3. Click Delete in the menu that opens.
4. In the pop-up window that appears click Delete to confirm that you want to delete the page. Click Cancel if you didn't mean to delete the page.
   
   
   
   
5. When you delete a page the intranet will complete the deletion and refresh your screen showing the page above the one you deleted.

If you need to bring back a page that you have archived or deleted, see How to restore or undelete a page.
