Sometimes a project is done<\/em>. You\u2019ve used Teams to plan, coordinate, and implement the projected \u2026 and there\u2019s a lot of good information in the Teams space \u2026 but there\u2019s no need to continue the discussion. Did you know a Team can be read-only? This is called \u201cArchived\u201d \u2013 members can search and read content, but no new files or posts can be created.<\/p>\n

To archive a Team, view your Teams. At the bottom of the Teams list, click the little gear.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I recommend changing the Team description to let others know it is archived \u2013 this is especially valuable if your team is Public as people may join intending to participate in an active discussion. To modify the Team description, select the sideways hamburger menu next to the Team name and select \u201cEdit team\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I prefix the description with \u201cARCHIVED:\u201d \u2026 hoping people at least glance<\/em> at the description. Click \u2018Done\u2019 to save your change.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To archive your Team, click the sideways hamburger menu again. Select \u201cArchive team\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You will be asked if you want to make the SharePoint site for the Teams space read-only as well \u2013 the answer is generally<\/em> yes, but if you\u2019re using the SharePoint site for more than just the Team then you do not want to check this box. Click \u2018Archive\u2019 to archive the Team.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Should you need to begin accepting new content in your Teams space, you can find the archived teams by expanding the \u201cArchived\u201d section.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Click the sideways hamburger menu and select \u2018Restore Team\u2019. This will move your Team back to the \u201cActive\u201d section and allow members to continue posting content.<\/p>\n
