Archive a Space
The effect of archiving a space
If a space is archived, that space and its contents:
Won't appear in the Confluence search results unless you select Search archived spaces. This option is hidden if there are no archived spaces.
Won't appear on any dropdown menus, including the Confluence quick navigation, which drops down when you enter text in the search box.
Won't appear in the general spaces lists in the Space Directory, but will instead appear under the Archived Spaces list. It will, however, still appear under any categories it was labeled with.
Won't show up in activity streams when updated.
Won't appear on your dashboard.
These functions remain available for archived spaces:
You can view the content as usual, by following a link or typing in a URL belonging to the archived space.
You can edit the content as usual, as determined by the space permissions.
RSS feeds, watches and notifications remain active.
Archiving a space has no effect on search results of external search engines. For example, a public space will still appear in Google search results.
