Before you archive content, there are a few things to keep in mind:

  • You can archive a trail but leave the individual modules published. The modules still appear on the modules index page on your enablement site, but the trail is hidden from the trails index page.
  • If a learner earns a badge and the associated module is later archived, the learner doesn’t lose the badge or the associated points.
  • If you archive all the modules in a trail, you must also archive the trail.
  • If a learner earned points or badges from content that becomes archived, those points and badges remain attached to the learner’s profile, even after the archive operation is complete.
  • Archive content as part of the process to migrate content that’s already been published to a new content collection.
Important
Important To archive a trail and all the modules in it, add the content to a release in this order.
  • First add the trail to the release.
  • Then add each module to the same release.

To add the items that you want to archive, complete the steps in Add Items to a Release from Trailmaker Release. Be sure to specify the Archive operation for each item.

After you publish the release, the content is archived.
