# Archiving and unarchiving content

How to archive and unarchive scenarios on Virti.

## Overview

Archiving lets you **remove content from active use without deleting it**. This is useful when a course or scenario is no longer needed right now, but you want to keep it for reporting, future use, or reference.

Archived content:

-   Is not visible to learners
    
-   Cannot be launched or assigned
    
-   Is not deleted and can be restored at any time
    

You can unarchive content at any time to make it active again.

## What Can Be Archived?

Depending on your permissions, you can archive:

-   Virtual Humans
    
-   Interactive Videos
    
-   Courses
    

Archiving helps keep your workspace clean, organised, and focused on current training.
