How do I archive a space in Confluence?

[Fahad Akhtar]

HI,

What are the steps to archive a space in Confluence? What happens to its child pages? Can I ever search for the space ever again or its contents?

Regards,
Fahad

Hi @Fahad Akhtar 

Here you can find all the info you want: https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/archive-a-space/

In addition:

Archived spaces retain the following functionality:

• 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.

• They’ll still appear under any categories they’ve been labeled with.

• Public spaces (accessible to anyone on the Internet) will continue to appear in external search engines’ search results, like Google’s.
