Archive a Group

Archiving removes a group from being accessed by its members, while preserving it on your dashboard for you to refer to.

This can be a helpful tool in several different scenarios, such as wanting to move your members' activity from one group to another, or archiving briefly while you make changes to that group.

This feature is available to those with a Premium subscription.

How to Archive a Group

From your SocialGlow dashboard, click Groups.

Locate the group you want to archive, then select the Archive icon to the far right.



Confirm that you want to archive that group.



That group will immediately be archived, and all moderators and members of that group will no longer be able to view that group. You and any admins of that group will be able to view this group from the SocialGlow dashboard.
