# Archive Courses & Bulk Actions

## 📌 Overview

Archiving lets you remove outdated or inactive courses from your active library without deleting them. Archived courses are hidden from learner dashboards and moved to a dedicated **Archived** tab where you can restore them at any time. You can also use multi-select bulk actions to archive or tag multiple courses at once.

### Step 1: Open the Courses Page

From the sidebar, click **Courses** to view your course library. You'll see your courses listed under the **Your Courses** tab, with an **Archived** tab alongside it.

### Step 2: Archive a Single Course

To archive one course, click the **⋯** (three-dot menu) on the course row and select **Archive Course**.

### Step 3: Confirm the Archive

A confirmation dialog appears asking **"Archive this course?"** and noting that the course will be removed from learners' dashboards. Click **Archive** to confirm, or **Cancel** to go back.

💡 Tip: Archiving a course does not delete it — all enrollment data and learner progress are preserved. You can restore it anytime from the **Archived** tab.

### Step 4: Use Multi-Select to Archive or Tag in Bulk

To act on multiple courses at once, click **Select** in the toolbar. The button changes to **Done** and checkboxes appear on each course row. Click courses to select them — each shows a numbered badge. A floating action bar appears with your options:

- **Add Tags** — apply tags to all selected courses at once
- **Archive** — archive all selected courses (with a confirmation dialog)
- **Cancel** — exit selection mode without taking action

💡 Tip: Click **Done** in the toolbar to exit selection mode without performing an action.

### Step 5: View and Restore Archived Courses

Click the **Archived** tab to see all archived courses. To restore a course, click the **⋯** (three-dot menu) on the archived course and select **Unarchive Course**. The course returns to your active library and becomes visible to learners again.

💡 Tip: You can also use multi-select on the **Archived** tab — the **Archive** button changes to **Unarchive** so you can restore multiple courses at once.

## 💡 Tips

- Archiving removes a course from learner dashboards, but existing enrollment data and progress are preserved.

- Use bulk tagging to organize courses before archiving — add a tag like "2024" or "Deprecated" to keep your library tidy.

- Courses in an active White Glove pipeline cannot be archived until the build is complete.
