Archive a Confluence Space:
You can archive Confluence spaces by following this procedure:
- Open the Overview of the space
- Choose Edit space details
- Select Archived in the Status drop-down menu
- Hit Save
This process is detailed even more on our product documentation.
Archive Confluence pages:
If you wish to "archive" only few pages in a space, there is a workaround to do it via permissions and page restrictions.
For example, at the top of the page tree, create a page called "Archives" and restrict that page to be viewable only by you (or users that need access to archived pages).
You can now move the pages you want to archive under this parent page, so they will inherit the page restrictions and become accessible only to you.
You can easily move the page back out of the "Archives" hierarchy and it will become visible to everyone else again that has appropriate permissions to the space. Also, you can easily add people to the page restrictions of the "Archives" hierarchy and make the "Archives" visible to you and a few other colleagues. Removing people from page restrictions is just as easy.
