      How to archive a Channel

      Archiving versus deleting

      An important thing to note is that Happeo does not delete/remove Channels completely. Instead, it stores them in an archive in case you want to bring them back (e.g. accidentally archiving a Channel).

      Archiving a Channel

      To archive a Channel, navigate to:

      1. The Channel you wish to archive
      2. Click on Settings
      3. Scroll all the way down to the Danger Zone
      4. Click on Archive Channel

      Note: Primary news Channels cannot be archived. You must first set another Channel as the Primary news Channel before archiving the Channel you currently have as a Primary news Channel.

      How to unarchive a Channel

      Note: As a normal user, you can only unarchive Channels that you own. Platform admins and those who have access to admin mode can unarchive Channels that also belong to other users. However, admins can only unarchive other users' Channels from the Admin settings and not the Channel Management.

      For normal users

      1. Navigate to the Channel navigation
      2. Click on All and select Archived
      3. You will be presented with a list of archived Channels. Select the Channel you wish to unarchive
      4. Click on Unarchive

      5. Select Restore channel
